To measure correlation of inter-chromosomal contacts between chromosomal arms regions (defined according to [20]) and PATC enrichment we divided the genome into 25KB (50KB) non-overlapping intervals. For each interval we measured the enrichment for PATC by counting the number of locations with high PATC score (defined as regions with a score of >55 using the algorithm of [29]). In order to measure the level of enrichment of inter-chromosomal arm-arm contacts over the arm-centers contacts we calculate the number of inter-chromosomal arm-arm contacts and number of inter-chromosomal arm-center contacts for every interval. Log2 value of the enrichment for inter-chromosomal arm-arm contacts is used to calculate correlation with PATC enrichment in different genomic regions
