Description
This track shows the topological domains defined by Hi-C analysis of Drosophila embryonic nuclei.
The Hi-C technique is based on Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C) and it provides an overview
of the three dimensional organization of the genome.
The Hi-C results were obtained from the
Comparative modENCODE / ENCODE
web site. The analysis results
were lifted from the D. melanogaster Release 5 assembly over to the Release 6 assembly.
The Hi-C analysis partitioned the genome into four discrete domains:
| State | Description | Color |
|---|
| Null | Null domains: weak enrichment of the insulator protein Su(Hw) | |
| Active | Transcriptionally active: enriched in H3K4me3, H3K36me3, hyperacetylation | |
| PcG | Polycomb: enriched in H3K27me3 | |
| HP1_Centromere | Classical heterochromatin: enriched in HP1, Su(var)3-9, H3K9me2 | |
