SnapHiC-D: a computational pipeline to identify differential chromatin contacts from single cell Hi-C data

ABSTRACT: Single cell Hi-C (scHi-C) has been used to map genome organization in complex tissues. However, computational tools to detect dynamic chromatin contacts from scHi-C datasets in development and through disease pathogenesis are still lacking. Here, we present SnapHiC-D, a computational pipeline to identify differential chromatin contacts (DCCs) between two scHi-C datasets. Compared to methods designed for bulk Hi-C data, SnapHiC-D detects DCCs with high sensitivity and accuracy. We used SnapHiC-D to identify cell-type-specific chromatin contacts at 10 kilobase resolution in mouse hippocampal and human prefrontal cortical tissues, and demonstrated that DCCs detected in the cortical and hippocampal cell types are generally correlated with cell-type-specific gene expression patterns and epigenomic features. SnapHiC-D is freely available at https://github.com/HuMingLab/SnapHiC-D.

The genome organization of Neurospora crassa at high-resolution uncovers principles of fungal chromosome topology

Project description:For a eukaryotic genome to properly function, its chromatin must be precisely organized, as genome topology impacts transcriptional regulation, cell division, DNA replication, and DNA repair, among other essential processes. Disruption of human genome topology can lead to disease states, such as cancer. The advent of chromosome conformation capture with high-throughput sequencing (Hi-C) technologies to assess genome organization has revolutionized our understanding of the arrangement of chromosomes within the nuclear genome. Critical developments include chromosomal territories, active/silent chromatin compartments, Topologically Associated Domains (TADs), and chromatin loops. However, to fully elucidate folding principles at the gene level, Hi-C datasets at an extremely high resolution are required: while low resolution (e.g., 40 kb bin) heatmaps can provide important insights into chromosomal level contacts, lower resolution datasets cannot provide information about individual gene or promoter contacts. Thus, high-resolution Hi-C datasets can elucidate principles of folding, including those of model organisms whose chromosome conformation can elucidate the folding of the human genome. Here, we have examined the high-resolution genome topology of the model fungal organism Neurospora crassa: our composite Hi-C dataset, generated using two restriction enzymes to monitor euchromatin (DpnII) and heterochromatin (MseI), provides exquisite detail for both larger chromosomal structures and individual gene contacts, including how repressed euchromatic genes associate with constitutive heterochromatic regions. Our high-resolution Neurospora Hi-C datasets should be an outstanding resource to the fungal community and provide valuable insights to the folding of higher organism genomes.

A technology-agnostic long-read analysis pipeline for transcriptome discovery and quantification

Project description:Alternative splicing is widely acknowledged to be a crucial regulator of gene expression and is a key contributor to both normal developmental processes and disease states. While cost-effective and accurate for quantification, short-read RNA-seq lacks the ability to resolve full-length transcript isoforms despite increasingly sophisticated computational methods. Long-read sequencing platforms such as Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore (ONT) bypass the transcript reconstruction challenges of short-reads. Here we describe TALON, the ENCODE4 pipeline for analyzing PacBio cDNA and ONT direct-RNA transcriptomes. We apply TALON to three human ENCODE Tier 1 cell lines and show that while both technologies perform well at full-transcript discovery and quantification, each technology has its distinct artifacts. We further apply TALON to mouse cortical and hippocampal transcriptomes and find that a substantial proportion of neuronal genes have more reads associated with novel isoforms than annotated ones. The TALON pipeline for technology-agnostic, long-read transcriptome discovery and quantification tracks both known and novel transcript models as well as expression levels across datasets for both simple studies and larger projects such as ENCODE that seek to decode transcriptional regulation in the human and mouse genomes to predict more accurate expression levels of genes and transcripts than possible with short-reads alone.

Genome-wide maps of nuclear lamina interactions in single human cells. (Hi-C, KBM7 haploid)

Project description:Mammalian interphase chromosomes interact with the nuclear lamina (NL) through hundreds of large Lamina Associated Domains (LADs). We report a method to map NL contacts genome-wide in single human cells. Analysis of ~400 maps reveals a core architecture of gene-poor LADs that contact the NL with high cell-to-cell consistency, interspersed by LADs with more variable NL interactions. The variable contacts are more sensitive to a change in genome ploidy than the consistent contacts. Single-cell maps indicate that NL contacts involve multivalent interactions over hundreds of kilobases. Moreover, we observe extensive intra-chromosomal coordination of NL contacts, even over tens of megabases. Such coordinated loci exhibit preferential interactions as detected by Hi-C. Finally, single-cell gene expression and chromatin accessibility analysis shows that loci with consistent NL contacts are expressed at lower levels and are more consistently inaccessible than loci with lower contact frequencies. These results highlight fundamental principles of single cell chromatin organization. Hi-C Data

These properties will enable TALON users to move beyond the limitations of short-read data to perform isoform discovery and quantification in a uniform manner on existing and future long-read platforms.

A novel approach uncovering the biological signal in Hi-C data affected by technical biases

Project description:The chromatin interaction assays, particularly Hi-C, enabled detailed studies of chromatin architecture in multiple organisms and model systems, resulting in a deeper understanding of gene expression regulation mediated by epigenetics mechanisms. However, the analysis and interpretation of Hi-C data remain challenging due to technical biases, limiting direct comparisons of datasets obtained in different experiments and laboratories. As a result, removing biases from Hi-C-generated chromatin contact matrices is a critical data analysis step. Our novel approach HiConfidence eliminates biases from the Hi-C data by weighing chromatin contacts according to their consistency between replicates so that low-quality replicates do not influence the result. The algorithm is effective for the analysis of global changes in chromatin structures such as compartments and TADs. We apply the HiConfidence approach to several Hi-C datasets with significant technical biases that could not be analyzed effectively using existing methods, and obtain meaningful biological conclusions. In particular, HiConfidence aids in the study of how changes in the histone acetylation pattern affect chromatin organization in Drosophila cells.

Multi-omic profiling of single nuclei uncovers regulatory diversity of brain cell types and diseases

Project description:Most existing single-cell techniques can only make one type of molecular measurements. Although computational approaches have been developed to integrate single-cell datasets, their efficacy still needs to be determined with reference to authentic single-cell multi-omic profiles. To address this challenge, we devised single-nucleus methylCytosine, Chromatin accessibility and Transcriptome sequencing (snmC2T-seq) and applied the approach to post-mortem human frontal cortex tissue. We developed a computational framework to evaluate the quality of finely defined cell types using multi-modal information and validated the efficacy of computational multi-omic integration methods. Correlation analysis in individual cells revealed gene groups showing distinct relations between methylation and expression. Integration of snmC2T-seq with other multi- and single- modal datasets enabled joint analyses of the methylome, chromatin accessibility, transcriptome, and chromatin architecture for 63 human cortical cell types. We reconstructed the regulatory lineage of these cortical cell types and found pronounced cell-type-specific enrichment of disease risks for neuropsychiatric traits, predicting causal cell types that can be targeted for treatment.
