The introduction of chromosome conformation capture (3C)-based technologies coupled with next-generation sequencing have significantly advanced our understanding of how the genetic material is organized within the eukaryotic nucleus. Three-dimensional (3D) genomic organization occurs at hierarchical levels, ranging from chromosome territories and subnuclear compartments to smaller self-associated domains and fine-scale chromatin interactions. The latter can be further categorized into different subtypes, such as structural or regulatory, based either on their presumed functionality and/or the factors that mediate their formation. Various enrichment strategies coupled with 3C-based technologies have been developed to prospectively isolate and quantify chromatin interactions around regions occupied by specific proteins or marks of interest. These approaches not only enable high-resolution characterization of the selected chromatin contacts at a cost-effective manner, but also offer important biological insights into their organizational principles and regulatory function. In this chapter, we will focus on the recently developed HiChIP technology with an emphasis on the discovery of putative active enhancers and promoter interactions in cell types of interest. We will describe the specific steps for designing, performing and analyzing successful HiChIP experiments as well as important limitations and considerations.
