    Simultaneous mapping of active DNA demethylation and sister chromatid exchange in single cells
    (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2017) Wu, Xiaoji; Inoue, Azusa; Suzuki, Tsukasa; Zhang, Yi
    To understand mammalian active DNA demethylation, various methods have been developed to map the genomic distribution of the demethylation intermediates 5-formylcysotine (5fC) and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC). However, the majority of these methods requires a large number of cells to begin with. In this study, we describe low-input methylase-assisted bisulfite sequencing (liMAB-seq ) and single-cell MAB-seq (scMAB-seq), capable of profiling 5fC and 5caC at genome scale using ∼100 cells and single cells, respectively. liMAB-seq analysis of preimplantation embryos reveals the oxidation of 5mC to 5fC/5caC and the positive correlation between chromatin accessibility and processivity of ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes. scMAB-seq captures the cell-to-cell heterogeneity of 5fC and 5caC and reveals the strand-biased distribution of 5fC and 5caC. scMAB-seq also allows the simultaneous high-resolution mapping of sister chromatid exchange (SCE), facilitating the study of this type of genomic rearrangement. Therefore, our study not only establishes new methods for the genomic mapping of active DNA demethylation using limited numbers of cells or single cells but also demonstrates the utilities of the methods in different biological contexts.

    Establishing Chromatin Regulatory Landscape during Mouse Preimplantation Development
    (Elsevier BV, 2016) Lu, Falong; Liu, Yuting; Inoue, Azusa; Suzuki, Tsukasa; Zhao, Kejie; Zhang, Yi
    How the chromatin regulatory landscape in the inner cell mass cells is established from differentially packaged sperm and egg genomes during preimplantation development is unknown. Here, we develop a low-input DNase I sequencing (liDNase-seq) method that allows us to generate maps of DNase I-hypersensitive site (DHS) of mouse preimplantation embryos from 1-cell to morula stage. The DHS landscape is progressively established with a drastic increase at the 8-cell stage. Paternal chromatin accessibility is quickly reprogrammed after fertilization to the level similar to maternal chromatin, while imprinted genes exhibit allelic accessibility bias. We demonstrate that transcription factor Nfya contributes to zygotic genome activation and DHS formation at the 2-cell stage and that Oct4 contributes to the DHSs gained at the 8-cell stage. Our study reveals the dynamic chromatin regulatory landscape during early development and identifies key transcription factors important for DHS establishment in mammalian embryos.
