Nicholas Luscombe, Cameron Osborne and colleagues report the use of Capture Hi-C (CHi-C) to detect the long-range interactions of almost 22,000 promoters in 2 human cell types. They found that transcriptionally inactive genes interact with previously uncharacterized elements that may act as long-range silencers.
