definition 
Chromosome conformation capture techniques were designed to analyse the 3-dimensional organisation and interaction of chromatin in a cell. This class of techniques always begin with cross-linking of chromatin, to preserve interactions with genomic loci. Next, DNA is fragmented. Traditional chromosome conformation capture techniques rely on a subsequent proximity ligation step, although ligation-free chromosome conformation assays have also been developed. (EFO)
