Project description:BackgroundRegulatory elements such as promoters, enhancers, and insulators interact each other to mediate molecular processes. To capture chromatin interactions of regulatory elements, 3C-derived methods such as Hi-C and Micro-C are developed. Here, we generated and analyzed Hi-C, Micro-C, and promoter capture Micro-C datasets with different sequencing depths to study chromatin interactions of regulatory elements and nucleosome positions in human prostate cancer cells.ResultsCompared to Hi-C, Micro-C identifies more high-resolution loops, including ones around structural variants. By evaluating the effect of sequencing depth, we revealed that more than 2 billion reads of Micro-C are needed to detect chromatin interactions at 1 kb resolution. Moreover, we found that deep-sequencing identifies additional long-range loops that are longer than 1 Mb in distance. Furthermore, we found that more than 50% of the loops are involved in insulators while less than 10% of the loops are promoter-enhancer loops. To comprehensively capture chromatin interactions that promoters are involved in, we performed promoter capture Micro-C. Promoter capture Micro-C identifies loops near promoters with a lower amount of sequencing reads. Sequencing of 160 million reads of promoter capture Micro-C resulted in reaching a plateau of identifying loops. However, there was still a subset of promoters that are not involved in loops even after deep-sequencing. By integrating Micro-C with NOMe-seq and ChIP-seq, we found that active promoters involved in loops have a more accessible region with lower levels of DNA methylation and more highly phased nucleosomes, compared to active promoters that are not involved in loops.ConclusionWe determined the required sequencing depth for Micro-C and promoter capture Micro-C to generate high-resolution chromatin interaction maps and loops. We also investigated the effect of sequencing coverage of Hi-C, Micro-C, and promoter capture Micro-C on detecting chromatin loops. Our analyses suggest the presence of distinct regulatory element groups, which are differently involved in nucleosome positions and chromatin interactions. This study does not only provide valuable insights on understanding chromatin interactions of regulatory elements, but also present guidelines for designing research projects on chromatin interactions among regulatory elements.

Project description:We performed Hi-C, Micro-C, and capture Micro-C in human prostate cancer cells and compared chromatin interactions called using different methods. By integrating Micro-C with NOMe-seq, ChIP-seq, and RNA-seq, we investigated the relationships among nucleosome positioning of regulatory elements, chromatin interactions, and transcription. This work provides a framework for understanding the chromatin interactions among regulatory elements, nucleosome-depleted regions, and transcription.

Project description:The distribution of nucleosomes along the genome is a significant aspect of chromatin structure and is thought to influence gene regulation through modulation of DNA accessibility. However, properties of nucleosome organization remain poorly understood, particularly in mammalian genomes where nucleosome positions have not been examined beyond isolated loci and promoter regions. Towards this goal we used tiled microarrays to identify stable nucleosome positions along the HOX gene clusters in human cell lines. We show that nucleosome positions exhibit sequence properties and long-range organization that are different from those characterized in other organisms. Despite overall variability of inter-nucleosome distances, specific loci contain regular nucleosomal arrays with 195bp periodicity. Moreover, such arrays tend to occur preferentially toward the 3’ ends of genes. Through comparison of different cell lines, we find that increased gene expression correlates with increased positioning of nucleosomes, suggesting an unexpected role for transcription in the establishment of well-positioned nucleosomes.

Project description:The exact positions of nucleosomes along genomic DNA can influence many aspects of chromosome function, yet existing methods for mapping nucleosomes do not provide the necessary single base pair accuracy to determine these positions. Here we develop and apply a new approach for direct mapping of nucleosome centers based on chemical modification of engineered histones. The resulting map locates nucleosome center positions genome-wide in unprecedented detail and accuracy. It reveals novel aspects of the in vivo nucleosome organization that are linked to transcription factor binding, RNA polymerase pausing, and the higher order structure of the chromatin fiber itself.

Project description:Nucleosome positions were determined for purified S. cerevisiae quiescent cells and compared to logarithmically growing cells. By analyzing nucleosome positions and MNase digestion patterns for two separate matched digestion amounts (~80% and ~50% mononucleosomes) we show that global nucleosome stabilization and repositioning occurs at transcription start sites. This repositioning indicates a repressive chromatin architecture that reflects global transcriptional shutoff in quiescent yeast.

All samples were created using the same chemical mapping protocol except with varying reaction times. The different reaction times did not make any significant difference in the nucleosome maps so all the data, for the 6 samples, were combined into one data set for the paper and are all considered replicates. The 6 samples are as follows: 1. 20 minute reaction time (single-end sequencing) 2. 20 minute reaction time (single-end sequencing) 3. 1 minute reaction time (single-end sequencing) 4. 1.5 minute reaction time (single-end sequencing) 5. 20 minute reaction time (paired-end sequencing) 6. 1.5 minute reaction time (paired-end sequencing)
