Chromosome conformation capture carbon copy (5C)

Definition
AI-generated

Multiplexed extension of 3C targeting many primer pairs simultaneously to map a focused interaction network among selected fragments.

Why it matters in GWAS

Bioinformatics methods determine how variants, expression, and epigenetic state are measured and summarized—shaping GWAS covariates, multi-omic integration, and functional follow-up.

Example usage

"Chromosome conformation capture carbon copy (5C) mapped pairwise contacts among the selected restriction fragments."
