Capturing pairwise and multi-way chromosomal conformations using chromosomal walks

Abstract: Chromosomes are folded into highly compacted structures to accommodate physical constraints within nuclei and to regulate access to genomic information. Recently, global mapping of pairwise contacts showed that loops anchoring topological domains (TADs) are highly conserved between cell types and species. Whether pairwise loops synergize to form higher-order structures is still unclear. Here we develop a conformation capture assay to study higher-order organization using chromosomal walks (C-walks) that link m… Show more

“…Although microscopy and specific proximity-ligation methods can also map higher-order interactions (Darrow et al., 2016; Olivares-Chauvet et al, 2016), these are largely restricted to mapping 3-way contacts. In contrast, SPRITE is not restricted in the number of simultaneous DNA contacts.…”

“…4h, Extended Data Fig. 10e-f), we sampled a randomized ensemble Hi-C map26 and compared contact distributions in the observed and randomized data using the Shaman tool (https://bitbucket.org/tanaylab/shaman). Briefly, we shuffled contacts using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo-like approach, first within each chromosome and then genome-wide, such that the primary factors that define contact distributions are preserved - the marginal coverage and contact distance distribution - but any compartment or TAD structure that may be present is not retained.…”

“…Recent technologies enabling the study of three-way 33 or higher-order chromatin interactions include chromosomal walks (c-walks) 34 , genome architecture mapping (GAM) 35 , split-pool recognition of interactions by tag extension (SPRITE) 36 , ChIA-drop 37 , Tri-C 38 , Tethered multiple 3C 39 , the concatemer ligation assay (COLA) 33 and Multicontact 4C (MC-4C) 40 . Among these assays, only a subset (Tri-C, SPRITE, COLA, GAM) have been shown to generate genome-wide maps in mammals, and all methods but SPRITE suffer from very rare representation of (<1%) of contacts with order >3 36 .…”
