Nucleosome Occupancy and Methylome Sequencing (NOMe-seq) analysis using SureSelectXT Methyl-Seq Target Enrichment System
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Chromatin accessibility plays a key role in epigenetic regulation of gene activation and silencing. Open chromatin regions allow regulatory elements such as transcription factors and polymerases to bind for gene expression while closed chromatin regions prevent the activity of transcriptional machinery. Nucleosome occupancy and methylome sequencing (NOMe-seq) has been developed for simultaneously profiling of chromatin accessibility and DNA methylation on single molecules. In this study, we combined the principle of NOMe-seq with targeted bisulfite sequencing method to analyze the genome-wide nucleosome occupancy and chromatin accessibility in the promoter and enhancer regions of over 20,000 genes. In addition, we developed CAME, a seed-extension based approach that identifies chromatin accessibility from NOMe-seq. Our results show that our method not only can precisely identify chromatin accessibility but also outperforms other methods.
