Locus-specific chromatin profiling of evolutionarily young transposable elements [HiChIP]

Project description:Despite a vast expansion in the availability of epigenomic data, our knowledge of the chromatin landscape at interspersed repeats remains highly limited by difficulties in mapping short-read sequencing data to these regions. In particular, little is known about the locus-specific regulation of evolutionarily young transposable elements (TEs), which have been implicated in genome stability, gene regulation and innate immunity in a variety of developmental and disease contexts. Here we propose an approach for generating locus-specific protein-DNA binding profiles at interspersed repeats, which leverages information on the spatial proximity between repetitive and non-repetitive genomic regions. We demonstrate that the combination of Hi-ChIP and a newly developed mapping tool (PAtChER) yields accurate protein enrichment profiles at individual repetitive loci. Using this approach, we show that young TEs display locus- and tissue-specific chromatin profiles in both mice and humans. Insights gained using our method will be invaluable for dissecting the molecular determinants of TE regulation and their impact on the genome.
