Systematic mapping of RNA-chromatin interactions in vivo


ABSTRACT: RNA molecules can attach to chromatin and thus provide a type of epigenomic information. It remains difficult to know what RNAs are associated with chromatin and where are the genomic target loci of these RNAs. Here, we present MARGI (Mapping RNA-genome interactions), a technology to massively reveal native RNA-chromatin interactions from unperturbed cells. The gist of this technology is to ligate chromatin-associated RNA (caRNA) with their target genomic sequence by proximity ligation, forming RNA-DNA chimeric sequences, which are converted to sequencing library for paired-end sequencing. Using MARGI, we produced RNA-genome interaction maps for human embryonic stem (ES) cells and HEK cells. MARGI revealed hundreds of chromatin-associated RNAs (caRNA), including previously known XIST, SNHG1, NEAT1, and MALAT1, as well as each caRNA's genomic interaction loci. Using a cross-species experiment, we estimated that approximately 2.2% of MARGI identified interactions are false positives. MARGI data suggested that 80-95% of interactions are proximal, where a caRNA is connected to its nearby genomic regions, 1-2% are distal, and 5-15% are inter-chromosomal. The majority of TSSs are associated with distal or inter-chromosomal caRNAs. ChIP-seq reported H3K27ac and H3K4me3 levels are positively correlated while H3K9me is negatively correlated with MARGI reported RNA attachment levels. The MARGI technology should facilitate revealing novel RNA functions and epigenomic events.
