The dynamic and temporal changes of host genome architecture during Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformation are not well known. Here the authors transform human primary B lymphocyte into lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) with EBV and show that the host 3D genome is rewired to facilitate expression of key oncogenes.
