摘要
Background:The hierarchical three-dimensional(3D)architectures of chromatin play an important role in fundamental biological processes,such as cell differentiation,cellular senescence,and transcriptional regulation.Aberrant chromatin 3D structural alterations often present in human diseases and even cancers,but their underlying mechanisms remain unclear.Results:3D chromatin structures(chromatin compartment A/B,topologically associated domains,and enhancerpromoter interactions)play key roles in cancer development,metastasis,and drug resistance.Bioinformatics techniques based on machine learning and deep learning have shown great potential in the study of 3D cancer genome.Conclusion:Current advances in the study of the 3D cancer genome have expanded our understanding of the mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis and development.It will provide new insights into precise diagnosis and personalized treatment for cancers.
