Methods to selectively manipulate specific long-distance chromosomal interactions are limited. Here the authors develop a method called Chemically Induced Chromosomal Interaction (CICI) to engineer interactions and demonstrate that 3D conformation plays a causal role in establishing donor DNA preference during DNA repair.
