Ribonucleotides are the most common non-canonical nucleotides incorporated into the genome of replicating cells. They are efficiently removed by ribonucleotide excision repair initiated by Ribonuclease (RNase) H2 cleavage. In the absence of RNase H2, such embedded ribonucleotides can be used to track DNA polymerase activity in vivo. To determine their precise location in Saccharomyces cerevisiae we developed embedded Ribonucleotide Sequencing (emRiboSeq), which uses recombinant RNase H2 to selectively create ligatable 3’-hydroxyl groups, in contrast to alternative methods that utilize alkaline hydrolysis. EmRiboSeq allows reproducible, strand-specific and potentially quantitative detection of embedded ribonucleotides at single-nucleotide resolution. This protocol can be adapted for the genome-wide mapping of other non-canonical bases by replacing RNase H2 with specific nicking endonucleases, a method we term Endonuclease Sequencing (EndoSeq). With the protocol taking <5 days to complete, these methods allow the in vivo study of DNA replication and repair, including the identification of replication origins and termination regions.
