Advances in the multimodal analysis of the 3D chromatin structure and gene regulation

Recent studies have demonstrated that the three-dimensional conformation of the chromatin plays a crucial role in gene regulation, with aberrations potentially leading to various diseases. Advanced methodologies have revealed a link between the chromatin conformation and biological function. This review divides these methodologies into sequencing-based and imaging-based methodologies, tracing their development over time. We particularly highlight innovative techniques that facilitate the simultaneous mapping of RNAs, histone modifications, and proteins within the context of the 3D architecture of chromatin. This multimodal integration substantially improves our ability to establish a robust connection between the spatial arrangement of molecular components in the nucleus and their functional roles. Achieving a comprehensive understanding of gene regulation requires capturing diverse data modalities within individual cells, enabling the direct inference of functional relationships between these components. In this context, imaging-based technologies have emerged as an especially promising approach for gathering spatial information across multiple components in the same cell.
