Abstract

The spatiotemporal control of 3D genome is fundamental for gene regulation, yet it remains challenging to profile high-resolution chromatin structure at cis-regulatory elements (CREs). Using C-terminally biotinylated dCas9, endogenous biotin ligases, and pooled sgRNAs, we describe the dCas9-based CAPTURE method for multiplexed analysis of locus-specific chromatin interactions. The redesigned system allows for quantitative analysis of the spatial configuration of a few to hundreds of enhancers or promoters in a single experiment, enabling comparisons across CREs within and between gene clusters. Multiplexed analyses of the spatiotemporal configuration of erythroid super-enhancers and promoter-centric interactions reveal organizational principles of genome structure and function.
