Journal ArticleDOI

Iterative correction of Hi-C data reveals hallmarks of chromosome organization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a pipeline that integrates a strategy for mapping of sequencing reads and a data-driven method for iterative correction of biases, yielding genome-wide maps of relative contact probabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hi-C: a comprehensive technique to capture the conformation of genomes

TL;DR: In Hi-C, a biotin-labeled nucleotide is incorporated at the ligation junction, enabling selective purification of chimeric DNA ligation junctions followed by deep sequencing, and the compatibility of hi-C with next generation sequencing platforms makes it possible to detect chromatin interactions on an unprecedented scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Condensin-driven remodelling of X chromosome topology during dosage compensation

TL;DR: This model implies that the DCC reshapes the topology of X chromosomes by forming new TAD boundaries and reinforcing weak boundaries through interactions between its highest-affinity binding sites, and deletion of an endogenous rex site at a DCC-dependent TAD boundary using CRISPR/Cas9 greatly diminished the boundary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial Organization of the Mouse Genome and Its Role in Recurrent Chromosomal Translocations

TL;DR: A high-resolution Hi-C spatial organization map of the G1-arrested mouse pro-B cell genome is generated and high-throughput genome-wide translocation sequencing is used to map translocations from target DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) within it.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-resolution DNA-binding specificity analysis of yeast transcription factors

TL;DR: High-resolution binding profiles for 89 known and predicted yeast TFs are determined and proteins that bind the PAC (Polymerase A and C) motif (GATGAG) and regulate ribosomal RNA transcription and processing, core cellular processes that are constituent to ribosome biogenesis are discovered.
