Since the advent of Hi-C in 2009, a plethora of high-throughput sequencing methods have emerged to profile the three-dimensional (3D) organization of eukaryotic genomes, igniting the era of 3D genomics. In recent years, the genomic resolution achievable by these approaches has dramatically increased and several single-cell versions of Hi-C have been developed. Moreover, a new repertoire of tools not based on proximity ligation of digested chromatin has emerged, enabling the investigation of the higher-order organization of chromatin in the nucleus. In this review, we summarize the expanding portfolio of 3D genomic technologies, highlighting recent developments and applications from the past three years. Lastly, we present an outlook of where this technology-driven field might be headed.
