Capture of associated targets on chromatin links long-distance chromatin looping to transcriptional coordination
Here we describe a sensitive and novel method of identifying endogenous DNA-DNA interactions. Capture of Associated Targets on CHromatin (CATCH) uses efficient capture and enrichment of specific genomic loci of interest through hybridization and subsequent purification via complementary biotinylated oligonucleotide. The CATCH assay requires no enzymatic digestion or ligation, requires little st...
متن کاملEntropy loss in long-distance DNA looping.
The entropy loss due to the formation of one or multiple loops in circular and linear DNA chains is calculated from a scaling approach in the limit of long chain segments. The analytical results allow us to obtain a fast estimate for the entropy loss for a given configuration. Numerical values obtained for some examples suggest that the entropy loss encountered in loop closure in typical geneti...
متن کاملA Long-Distance Chromatin Affair
Changes in transcription factor binding sequences result in correlated changes in chromatin composition locally and at sites hundreds of kilobases away. New studies demonstrate that this concordance is mediated via spatial chromatin interactions that constitute regulatory modules of the human genome.
متن کاملPharmacologic control of chromatin looping
S ickle cell disease (SCD) and b-thalassemia are widespread genetic disorders that result from inherited mutations in the adultb-globin gene. An important aspect of SCD and b-thalassemia is that diseasecausing mutations affect the adult b-globin gene but leave intact its fetal counterparts Ggand Ag-globin, a point that explains why SCD and b-thalassemia patients first experience major symptoms ...
متن کاملThe effect of distance on long-range chromatin interactions.
We have used gene competition to distinguish between possible mechanisms of transcriptional activation of the genes of the human beta-globin locus. The insertion of a second beta-globin gene at different points in the locus shows that the more proximal beta gene competes more effectively for activation by the locus control region (LCR). Reducing the relative distance between the genes and the L...
