CHiCAGO: Robust Detection of DNA Looping Interactions in Capture Hi-C data

ABSTRACT: Capture Hi-C (CHi-C) is a state-of-the art method for profiling chromosomal interactions involving targeted regions of interest (such as gene promoters) globally and at high resolution. Signal detection in CHi-C data involves a number of statistical challenges that are not observed when using other Hi-C-like techniques. We present a background model, and algorithms for normalisation and multiple testing that are specifically adapted to CHi-C experiments, in which many spatially dispersed regions are captured, such as in Promoter CHi-C. We implement these procedures in CHiCAGO (http://regulatorygenomicsgroup.org/chicago), an open-source package for robust interaction detection in CHi-C. We validate CHiCAGO by showing that promoter-interacting regions detected with this method are enriched for regulatory features and disease-associated SNPs. Three human CHi-C biological replicates were generated (comprising 1, 2and 3 technical replicates). Two mouse CHi-C biological replicates were generated (both comprising three technical replicates) and a mouse Hi-C dataset. The publicly available HiCUP pipeline (doi: 10.12688/f1000research.7334.1) was used to process the raw sequencing reads. This pipeline was used to map the read pairs against the mouse (mm9) and human (hg19) genomes, to filter experimental artefacts (such as circularized reads and re-ligations), and to remove duplicate reads. For the CHi-C data, the resulting BAM files were processed into CHiCAGO input files, retaining only those read pairs that mapped, at least on one end, to a captured bait. CHiCAGO then identified Hi-C restriction fragments interacting, with statistical significant, to captured baits.

HiCUP: pipeline for mapping and processing Hi-C data

Project description:HiCUP is a pipeline for processing sequence data generated by Hi-C, a technique used to investigate the three-dimensional organisation of a genome. The pipeline maps data to a specified reference genome and removes artefacts that would otherwise hinder subsequent analysis. HiCUP also provides an easy-to-interpret yet detailed quality control report that may be used by researchers to refine their experimental protocol for future studies. The software is freely available and has already been used for processing Hi-C data in several recently published peer-reviewed research articles. This experiment investigates the impact of using HiCUP to remove putative PCR amplification products in heavily duplicated Capture Hi-C libraries. Examination of three Capture Hi-C libraries

The conformation of yeast chromosome III is mating type-dependent and controlled by the recombination enhancer

Project description:Yeast chromosome III contains the mating type loci that provide a paradigm for long-range interactions between distant loci. Yeast switch mating type by gene conversion between the MAT locus and either of two silent loci (HML or HMR) on opposite ends of the chromosome. This long-range process is mating type-specific so that MATa cells choose HML as template, while MATÎ± cells use HMR. The Recombination Enhancer (RE), located on the left arm regulates this process. One long-standing hypothesis is that switching is guided by mating type-specific, and possibly RE-dependent three-dimensional folding of chromosome III. Here we used Hi-C, 5C, and live cell imaging to characterize the conformation of chromosome III in both mating types in non-switching strains. We discovered a mating type-specific difference in the folding of the left arm: in MATa cells the left arm is located closely to the centromere-proximal portion of the chromosome as well as to MAT, whereas it is more extended away in MATÎ± cells. Deletion analysis showed that a 1 kb subregion within the RE, which is not necessary during switching, abolished mating type-dependent chromosome folding. In this mutant the conformation of chromosome III is the same in both mating types, but distinct from the wild type MATa or MATÎ± conformations, indicating that the RE induces conformational changes in both mating types. The RE is therefore a composite element with one subregion essential for selecting the appropriate donor during switching, and a separate region involved in modulating chromosome conformation prior to switching. This submission contain 2 biological replicates of Hi-C experiments done in MATa and MATalpha cells in Saccharamycese cerevisiae. It also contains 3 biological replicates of 13 5C experiments in various mutants in MATa and MATalpha cells.

Transcriptome analysis of the sigC deletion mutant

Project description:Bacteria modify expression of different types of terminal oxidase in response to oxygen availability. Corynebacterium glutamicum, a facultative anaerobic bacterium in Actinobacteria, possesses aa3-type cytochrome c oxidase and cytochrome bd-type quinol oxidase, the latter of which is induced upon oxygen limitation. We report here that an extracytoplasmic function sigma factor, SigC, is unprecedentedly responsible for the regulation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation in conjunction with microarray (ChIP-chip) analysis detected eight SigC-binding regions in the genome, leading to identification of a consensus promoter sequence for SigC recognition. The promoter sequences were found upstream of genes for cytochrome bd, heme a synthesis enzymes, and uncharacterized membrane proteins, all of which were upregulated by sigC overexpression. In contrast, that found on the antisense strand upstream of an operon encoding the cytochrome bc1 complex conferred a SigC-dependent negative effect on the operon expression. The SigC regulon was induced by cytochrome aa3 deficiency without modification of expression of sigC itself, but not by deficiency of the bc1 complex. These findings suggest that SigC is activated in response to impairment of electron transfer via cytochrome aa3, not directly to shift in oxygen levels. Our results provide a novel paradigm for transcriptional regulation of the aerobic respiratory system in bacteria. Gene expression profile of the wild type at the exponential phase was compared with that of the sigC deletion mutant. Two indepent experiments using two independent mutants were performed.

Unbiased Capture Hi-C reveals the potential targets of breast cancer susceptibility loci

Project description:Genome-wide association studies have identified over 70 common variants that are associated with breast cancer risk. Most of these variants map to non-protein-coding regions; several map to gene deserts, regions of several hundred kb lacking protein-coding genes. We hypothesized that gene deserts harbour long-range regulatory elements that can physically interact with target genes to influence their expression. To test this, we developed Capture Hi-C (CHi-C), which by incorporating a sequence capture step into a Hi-C protocol, allows high-resolution analysis of targeted regions of the genome. We used CHi-C to investigate long-range interactions at three breast cancer gene deserts mapping to 2q35, 8q24.21 and 9q31.2. We identified interaction peaks between putative regulatory elements ("bait fragments") within the captured regions and "targets" that included both protein-coding genes and long non-coding (lnc)RNAs, over distances of 6.6 kb to 2.6 Mb. Target protein-coding genes were IGFBP5, KLF4, NSMCE2 and MYC; target lncRNAs included DIRC3, PVT1 and CCDC26. For two gene deserts we were able to define a set of SNPs that were correlated with the published risk variant and that clustered within the bait end of an interaction peak. Preliminary functional analyses implicate one SNP (rs12613955; 2q35) as a potentially functional variant. Capture Hi-C was carried out in BT483, SUM44, and GM06990 cell lines to investigate breast cancer risk loci 2q35, 8q24.21 and 9q31.2.
