Abstract
Homologs are paired in Drosophila somatic cells from embryogenesis to adulthood. Using a computational approach for haplotype-resolved Hi-C, the authors reveal highly structured homolog pairing in Drosophila embryos during zygotic genome activation and demonstrate its application to mammalian embryos.
