Pore-C sequencing identifies episome-driven chromosome conformation perturbations differentiating pneumococcal epigenetic variants

Tze Yee Lim, Samuel Horsfield, Catherine M. Troman…·Nicholas J. Croucher

The paper uses Hi-C and Pore-C sequencing to compare chromosomal conformation in pneumococcal variants, finding that episomal elements drive differential contact patterns through stochastic replication and excision.
