Abstract

The use of 3C-based methods has revealed the importance of the 3D organization of the chromatin for key aspects of genome biology. However, the different caveats of the variants of 3C techniques have limited their scope and the range of scientific fields that could benefit from these approaches. To address these limitations, we present 4Cin, a method to generate 3D models and derive virtual Hi-C (vHi-C) heat maps of genomic loci based on 4C-seq or any kind of 4C-seq-like data, such as those derived from NG Capture-C. 3D genome organization is determined by integrative consideration of the spatial distances derived from as few as four 4C-seq experiments. The 3D models obtained from 4C-seq data, together with their associated vHi-C maps, allow the inference of all chromosomal contacts within a given genomic region, facilitating the identification of Topological Associating Domains (TAD) boundaries. Thus, 4Cin offers a much cheaper, accessible and versatile alternative to other available techniques while providing a comprehensive 3D topological profiling. By studying TAD modifications in genomic structural variants associated to disease phenotypes and performing cross-species evolutionary comparisons of 3D chromatin structures in a quantitative manner, we demonstrate the broad potential and novel range of applications of our method.

摘要

基于 3C 的方法的应用揭示了染色质三维结构对于基因组生物学关键方面的重要性。然而,3C 技术变体的不同限制限制了它们的范围和可以受益于这些方法的科学领域的范围。为了解决这些限制,我们提出了 4Cin,这是一种基于 4C-seq 或任何类似于 4C-seq 的数据(如来自 NG Capture-C 的数据)生成三维模型并推导出基因组基因座虚拟 Hi-C(vHi-C)热图的方法。通过综合考虑从四个 4C-seq 实验中得出的空间距离来确定三维基因组组织。从 4C-seq 数据获得的 3D 模型及其相关的 vHi-C 图谱允许推断给定基因组区域内的所有染色体接触,从而有助于鉴定拓扑关联域(TAD)边界。因此,4Cin 提供了一种更便宜、更易于访问和更通用的替代方案,而提供了全面的三维拓扑分析。通过研究与疾病表型相关的基因组结构变异中的 TAD 修饰,并以定量方式对 3D 染色质结构进行跨物种进化比较,我们展示了我们方法的广泛潜力和新的应用范围。
