Chromatin loops bridging distant loci within chromosomes can be detected by a variety of techniques such as Hi-C. Here the authors present Chromosight, an algorithm applied on mammalian, bacterial, viral and yeast genomes, able to detect various types of pattern in chromosome contact maps, including chromosomal loops.
