*Course description*
The sequence of a genome alone does not carry enough information to    
fully understand how genomic processes are carried out in the cell    
nucleus; to achieve this, the knowledge of the three-dimensional (3D)   
  architecture of a genome is necessary. Advances in genomic    
technologies and the development of new analytical methods, such as    
3C-based methods, have allowed getting insights at unprecedented    
resolution into how the genome is organized. Recently, it has been    
shown that chromatin is organized in Topologically Associating Domains  
   (TADs), large interaction domains that appear to be conserved among  
   different cell types.
In this course, participants will learn to use TADBit, a software for   
  the analysis and 3D modeling of Topologically Associated Domains    
(TADs) and genomes. TADBit is based on a computational module of the    
Integrative Modeling Platform (IMP,    
http://www.integrativemodeling.org) that uses chromosome conformation   
  capture data to determine the 3D architecture of genomic domains and  
   entire genomes at unprecedented resolutions.
Participants can bring-in specific biological questions and/or their    
on data to work on during the course.

*Target Audience*
The course is oriented to experimental researchers with minimal    
computational skills, at the graduate and post-graduate levels. It is   
  also suitable for bioinformatics developers at all levels. We    
anticipate that this course is attended by people with several types    
of interests in genome organization. It is likely that they may also    
aim at getting involved in generating Hi-C data for chromosome    
structure determination and that they want to model its 3D    
representation, but that does not need to be the case for all the    
participants: they may, for example, just want to explore publicly    
available data.
