Abstract:
The high-order three-dimensional (3D) organization of regulatory genomic elements provides a topological basis for gene regulation, but it remains unclear how multiple regulatory elements across the mammalian genome interact within an individual cell. To address this, herein, we developed scNanoHi-C, which applies Nanopore long-read sequencing to explore genome-wide proximal high-order chromatin contacts within individual cells. We show that scNanoHi-C can reliably and effectively profile 3D chromatin structures and distinguish structure subtypes among individual cells. This method could also be used to detect genomic variations, including copy-number variations and structural variations, as well as to scaffold the de novo assembly of single-cell genomes. Notably, our results suggest that extensive high-order chromatin structures exist in active chromatin regions across the genome, and multiway interactions between enhancers and their target promoters were systematically identified within individual cells. Altogether, scNanoHi-C offers new opportunities to investigate high-order 3D genome structures at the single-cell level.
