HiChIP: efficient and sensitive analysis of protein-directed genome architecture

Nat Methods. 2016 Nov;13(11):919-922. doi: 10.1038/nmeth.3999. Epub 2016 Sep 19.

Abstract

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 the input requirement over 100-fold relative to that of ChIA-PET. HiChIP of cohesin reveals multiscale genome architecture with greater signal-to-background ratios than those of in situ Hi-C.
