Discussion This study demonstrates that Hi-C sequencing data provide valuable information for metagenome analyses that are not currently obtainable by other methods. By applying Hi-C to a synthetic microbial community we showed that genomic DNA was associated by Hi-C read pairs within strains orders of magnitude more frequently than between strains. Hi-C reads associated genomic regions at distances not achievable with mate-pair or long-read sequencing technologies.
