TI - HiChIP: Efficient and sensitive analysis of protein-directed genome architecture AID - 10.1101/073619 DP - 2016 Jan 01 TA - bioRxiv PG - 073619 4099 - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/09/08/073619.short 4100 - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/09/08/073619.full AB - Genome conformation is central to gene control but challenging to interrogate. Here we present HiChIP, a protein-centric chromatin conformation method. HiChIP improves the yield of conformation-informative reads by over 10-fold and lowers input requirement over 100-fold relative to ChIA-PET. HiChIP of cohesin reveals multi-scale genome architecture with greater signal to background than in situ Hi-C. Thus, HiChIP adds to the toolbox of 3D genome structure and regulation for diverse biomedical applications.
