Abstract Genome conformation underlies transcriptional regulation by distal enhancers, and genomic rearrangements in cancer can alter critical regulatory interactions. Here we profiled the three-dimensional genome architecture and enhancer connectome of 69 tumor samples spanning 15 primary human cancer types from The Cancer Genome Atlas. We discovered the following three archetypes of enhancer usage for over 100 oncogenes across human cancers: static, selective gain or dynamic rewiring.
