3D genome structures are plastic and vary from cell to cell even in an isogenic sample. Here, the authors present an approach to identify frequent 3D chromatin clusters across a population of genome structures, either deconvoluted from ensemble-averaged Hi-C data or from a collection of single-cell Hi-C data.
