High-resolution three-dimensional chromatin profiling of the Chinese hamster ovary cell genome.

ABSTRACT: Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines are the pillars of a multibillion-dollar biopharmaceutical industry producing recombinant therapeutic proteins. The effects of local chromatin organization and epigenetic repression within these cell lines result in unpredictable and unstable transgene expression following random integration. Limited knowledge of the CHO genome and its higher order chromatin organization has thus far impeded functional genomics approaches required to tackle these issues. Here, we present an integrative three-dimensional (3D) map of genome organization within the CHOK1SV® 10E9 cell line in conjunction with an improved, less fragmented CHOK1SV 10E9 genome assembly. Using our high-resolution chromatin conformation datasets, we have assigned ≈90% of sequence to a chromoso
