International audience; During the past decade, Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C/Hi-C)-based methods have been used to probe the 3D structure and organization of bacterial genomes, revealing fundamental aspects of chromosome dynamics. However, the current protocols are expensive, inefficient, and limited in their resolution. Here we present a simple, cost-effective Hi-C approach that is readily applicable to a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
