Spatial organisation of the genome has a fundamental effect on its biological functions. Chromatin-chromatin interactions and 3D spatial structures are involved in transcriptional regulation and have a decisive role in DNA replication and repair. To understand how individual genes and their regulatory elements function within the larger genomic context, and how the genome reacts as a whole to environmental stimuli, the linear sequence information needs to be interpreted in 3-dimensional space. While recent advances in chromatin conformation capture technologies including Hi-C, considerably advanced our understanding of the genomes, defining the DNA, as it is organized in the cell nucleus is still a challenging task. 3D genome modelling needs to reflect the DNA as a flexible polymer, which can wind up to the fraction of its total length and greatly unwind and stretch to implement a multitude of functions. Here we propose a novel approach to model genomes as a multigraph based on Hi-C contact data. Multigraph-based 3D genome modelling of barley and rice revealed the well-known Rabl and Rosetta chromatin organizations, respectively, as well as other higher order structures. Our results shows that the well-established toolset of Graph theory is highly valuable in modelling large genomes in 3D.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
