Fig. 1. Maximum entropy model inferred from Hi–C experiments in C. crescentus.

A Comparison between experimental contact frequencies $f_{ij}^{\mathrm{expt}}$ (upper left corner, adapted from ref. ²⁶) and contact frequencies obtained from our inferred MaxEnt model $f_{ij}^{\mathrm{model}}$ (lower right corner). B Associated inferred effective interaction energies ϵ_ij (lower right corner, white regions indicate ϵ_ij → ∞) together with a scatter plot of $f_{ij}^{\mathrm{expt}}$ vs. $f_{ij}^{\mathrm{model}}$ (inset). C Visualization of a single-cell chromosome configuration predicted by our MaxEnt model; the centers of four distinct chromosome sections are represented in the schematic by colored spheres.
