Extended Data Fig. 2

a, Assuming a cell population with an actual interaction frequency of 75%, nuclear cryosections intersecting both loci can be obtained from nuclei in both interacting and non-interacting states. b, For any pair of loci, a GAM cryosection might detect either both loci, one locus, or neither. Co-segregation frequency or normalized linkage (D’) can be applied to infer proximity of the two loci. c, SLICE provides a statistical model to identify pairs of loci interacting above the background at their genomic distance, and to estimate the proportion of cells in the population with pairs in the interacting state (Probability of interaction or Pi).
