Genomic aberrations disrupting chromosome spatial domains can lead to disease. Here, the authors investigate the impact of DNA damage response and repair on 3D genome folding, comparing wild type cells and ataxia telangiectasia mutated patient cells, and characterise both cell type-specific and shared changes to genome organization during the response to damage.
