Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C) (PROT05)
نویسنده
چکیده
An alternative protocol (PROT31) for 3C has been adopted by the author's lab. Much of it is identical to this version. The major differences are in the amounts of DNA used at different steps. We reliably get the same results as with this version, but also a greater yield of 3C material. Yields from this version are ample for real-time PCR analysis, but greater yields are required if the 3C material is going to be processed further.

A decade of 3C technologies: insights into nuclear organization.
Over the past 10 years, the development of chromosome conformation capture (3C) technology and the subsequent genomic variants thereof have enabled the analysis of nuclear organization at an unprecedented resolution and throughput. The technology relies on the original and, in hindsight, remarkably simple idea that digestion and religation of fixed chromatin in cells, followed by the quantifica...
متن کاملHi-C: Genome-wide Chromosome Conformation Capture
The three-dimensional conformation of chromosomes in the nucleus is important for many cellular processes, including the regulation of gene expression, DNA replication, and chromatin structure [1]. Despite having the entire sequence of the genome, very little has been understood about three-dimensional chromosome conformation beyond the scale of the nucleosome. However, recent advances in molec...

Regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes involves many complex processes, in which chromatin structure plays an important role. In addition to the epigenetic effects, such as DNA methylation and phosphorylation or histone modifications, gene expression is also controlled by the spatial organization of chromatin. For example, distant regulatory elements (enhancers, insulators) may come into d...
متن کاملMetagenomic Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C): techniques, applications, and challenges
We review currently available technologies for deconvoluting metagenomic data into individual genomes that represent populations, strains, or genotypes present in the community. An evaluation of chromosome conformation capture (3C) and related techniques in the context of metagenomics is presented, using mock microbial communities as a reference. We provide the first independent reproduction of...
متن کاملChromosome Conformation Capture (3C) in Budding Yeast.
Chromosome conformation capture (3C) is a method for studying chromosomal organization that takes advantage of formaldehyde cross-linking to measure the spatial association of two pieces of chromatin. The 3C method begins with whole-cell formaldehyde fixation of chromatin. After cell lysis, solubilized chromatin is digested with a type II restriction endonuclease, and cross-linked DNA fragments...
