Chromosome conformation capture assay combined with biotin enrichment for hyperthermophilic archaea

Chromosome organization in archaea has long been enigmatic due, in part, to the typically small cell size of archaea and the extremophilic nature of many of the model archaeal species studies, rendering live-cell imaging technically challenging. To circumvent these problems, we recently applied chro...

Sumario:Chromosome organization in archaea has long been enigmatic due, in part, to the typically small cell size of archaea and the extremophilic nature of many of the model archaeal species studies, rendering live-cell imaging technically challenging. To circumvent these problems, we recently applied chromosome conformation capture combined with biotin enrichment and deep sequencing (Hi-C) to members of hyperthermophilic archaeal genus Sulfolobus. Our optimized Hi-C protocol described here permits delineation of how Sulfolobus species organize their chromosomes. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Takemata et al. (2019).
