Illustration from Scientific Research

Illustration of single-trace metrics. Euclidean distance-based filtering of close contacts (<100 nm) with a genomic distance over 30 kb defines loops. Based on their overlap with other loops or loop bases, contacts are classified into base loops, nested loops (when 2 or more base loops coincide to form a second, larger loop), or Z-loops (2 loops partially overlap). Radius of gyration is a measure of overall compaction of the trace.
