Project description:We developed FLIE (Fast Low-Input Efficient) Hi-C, a highly optimized and simplified version of Hi-C. Our method shortens the duration of Hi-C from five days to two days and decreases key reagent amounts 5-20 fold, while maintaining experimental controls and data quality. Importantly, the method also reduces the required input material by 100-1000 fold, as we demonstrate by generating detailed high complexity interaction maps from low-input sorted mouse frozen neuron nuclei and from 5,000-10,000 human Hap1 cells.
Project description:To evaluate the robustness of CtG, we constructed Hi-C libraries of varying quantities of cell inputs utilizing a low-input Hi-C technique.
Project description:We developed a novel approach, J-binding protein 1 sequencing (JBP1-seq), that combines the benefits of an improved recombinant JBP1 protein, Nextera-based library construction, and nextgeneration sequencing (NGS) for genome-wide profiling of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). Compared with the original JBP1, this new recombinant JBP1 was biotinylatedin vivo and conjugated to magnetic beads via biotin-streptavidin interactions. These modifications allowed a more efficient and consistent pull-down of β-glucosyl-5-hydroxymethylcytosine (β-glu-5hmC), and sequence-ready libraries can be generated within 4.5 hours from DNA inputs as low as 50 ng. 5hmC enrichment of human brain DNA using the new JBP1 resulted in over 25,000 peaks called, which is significantly higher than the 4,003 peaks enriched using the old JBP1. Comparison of the technical duplicates and validations with other platforms indicated the results are reproducible and reliable. Thus, JBP1-seq provides a fast, efficient, cost-effective method for accurate 5hmC genome-wide profiling. An improvement of JBP1-Seq
