Genome topology provides a structural basis for epigenome-mediated transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes. Here the authors characterized the 3D genome of stratified squamous epithelia. They generated a Hi-C map of human limbal stem/progenitor cells (LSCs) and integrated these data with epigenomics, transcription factor binding maps, and transcriptome data.
