Iterative epigenomic analyses in the same single cell.

ABSTRACT: Gene expression in individual cells is epigenetically regulated by DNA modifications, histone modifications, transcription factors, and other DNA-binding proteins. It has been shown that multiple histone modifications can predict gene expression and reflect future responses of bulk cells to extracellular cues. However, the predictive ability of epigenomic analysis is still limited for mechanistic research at a single cell level. To overcome this limitation, it would be useful to acquire reliable signals from multiple epigenetic marks in the same single cell. Here, we propose a new approach and a new method for analysis of several components of the epigenome in the same single cell. The new method allows reanalysis of the same single cell. We found that reanalysis of the same single cell is
