Project description:Determining the genomic localization of chromatin features is an essential aspect of investigating gene expression control, and ChIP-Seq has long been the gold standard technique for interrogating chromatin landscapes. Recently, the development of alternative methods, such as CUT&Tag, have provided researchers with alternative strategies that eliminate the need for chromatin purification, and allow for in situ investigation of histone modifications and chromatin bound factors. Mindful of technical differences, we set out to investigate whether distinct chromatin modifications were equally compatible with these different chromatin interrogation techniques. We found that ChIP-Seq and CUT&Tag performed similarly for modifications known to reside at gene regulatory regions, such as promoters and enhancers, but major differences were observed when we assessed enrichment over heterochromatin-associated loci. Unlike ChIP-Seq, CUT&Tag detects robust levels of H3K9me3 at a substantial number of repetitive elements, with especially high sensitivity over evolutionarily young retrotransposons. IAPEz-int elements for example, exhibited underrepresentation in mouse ChIP-Seq datasets but strong enrichment using CUT&Tag. Additionally, we identified several euchromatin-associated proteins that co-purify with repetitive loci and are similarly depleted when applying ChIP-based methods. This study reveals that our current knowledge of chromatin states across the heterochromatin portions of the mammalian genome is extensively incomplete, largely due to36 limitations of ChIP-Seq. We also demonstrate that newer in situ chromatin fragmentation-based techniques, such as CUT&Tag and CUT&RUN, are more suitable for studying chromatin modifications over repetitive elements and retrotransposons.

Project description:We developed scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag, a streamlined method by adapting a modified CUT&Tag protocol to Oxford Nanopore sequencing platform for efficient chromatin modification profiling at single-cell resolution. We firstly tested the performance of scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag on six human cell lines: K562, 293T, GM12878, HG002, H9, HFF1 and adult mouse blood cells, it showed that scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag can accurately distinguish different cell types in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag enables to effectively map the allele-specific epigenomic modifications in the human genome andallows to analyze co-occupancy of histone modifications. Taking advantage of long-read sequencing,scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag can sensitively detect epigenomic state of repetitive elements. In addition, by applying scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag to testicular cells of adult mouse B6D2F1, we demonstrated that scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag maps dynamic epigenetic state changes during mouse spermatogenesis. Finally, we exploited the epigenetic changes of human leukemia cell line K562 during DNA demethylation, it showed that NanoSeq-CUT&Tag can capture H3K27ac signals changes along DNA demethylation. Overall, we prove that scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag is a valuable tool for efficiently probing chromatin state changes within individual cells.

Project description:Chromatin-protein interactions are fundamental for the regulation of gene transcription. While ChIP-seq has long been the standard method for mapping these interactions, emerging techniques such as CUT&RUN and CUT&Tag, which offer advantages including low input requirements and high signal-to-noise ratios, have garnered attention. However, these enzyme-based tagmentation approaches may introduce potential biases, and comparative assessment with ChIP-seq remain absent. This study aims to systematically evaluate and compare the performance of ChIP-seq, CUT&Tag, and CUT&RUN for profiling genome-wide transcription factors and histone modifications binding. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of ChIP-seq, CUT&Tag, and CUT&RUN for detecting active and repressive histone modifications as well as transcription factor binding. Our results show that all three methods reliably detect histone modifications and transcription factor enrichment, with CUT&Tag demonstrating a relatively higher signal-to-noise ratio. Rigorous peak comparison analysis identified differential enrichment sites detected by the three methods. Additionally, we observed a notable correlation between CUT&Tag signal intensity and chromatin accessibility, suggesting the potential for CUT&Tag to detect regions of active chromatin.

Project description:Many chromatin features play critical roles in regulating gene expression. A complete understanding of gene regulation will require the mapping of specific chromatin features in small samples of cells at high resolution. Here we describe Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation (CUT&Tag), an enzyme-tethering strategy that provides efficient high-resolution sequencing libraries for profiling diverse chromatin components. In CUT&Tag, a chromatin protein is bound in situ by a specific antibody, which then tethers a proteinA-Tn5 transposase fusion protein. Activation of the transposase efficiently generates fragment libraries with high resolution and exceptionally low background. All steps from live cells to sequencing-ready libraries can be performed in a single tube on the benchtop or a microwell in a high-throughput pipeline, and the entire procedure can be performed in one day. We demonstrate the utility of CUT&Tag by profiling histone modifications, RNA Polymerase II and transcription factors on low cell numbers and single cells.
