This protocol describes a high-throughput and multiplexed DNA fluorescence hybridization method to trace chromosome conformation in embryos. This approach generates single-cell and single-chromosome localization data that can be used to determine chromosome conformation and assess the heterogeneity of structures that exist . This strategy is flexible through modifications to the probe design steps to interrogate chromosome structure at the desired genomic scale (small-scale loops to whole-chromosome organization). For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Sawh et al. (2020).
本方案描述了一种高通量和多重化的 DNA 荧光杂交方法,用于追踪胚胎中的染色体构象。该方法生成单细胞和单染色体定位数据,可用于确定染色体构象,并评估存在的结构异质性。通过修改探针设计步骤,该策略具有灵活性,可在所需的基因组范围内(从小尺度环到整条染色体组织)检测染色体结构。有关该方案使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参见 Sawh 等人(2020 年)。
