Unbiased, high-throughput assays to detect and quantify DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) genome-wide in mammalian cells will facilitate basic studies of mechanisms that generate and repair endogenous DSBs. They will also enable more applied studies, such as evaluating on- and off-target activities of engineered nucleases. Here we describe a linear amplification-mediated high-throughput genome-wide sequencing (LAM-HTGTS) method for detecting genome-wide “prey” DSBs via their translocation in cultured mammalian cells to a fixed “bait” DSB. Bait-prey junctions are cloned directly from isolated genomic DNA using LAM-PCR and unidirectionally ligated to bridge adapters; subsequent PCR steps amplify the single-stranded DNA junction library in preparation for Illumina paired-end Miseq sequencing. A custom bioinformatic pipeline identifies prey sequences that contribute to junctions and maps them across the genome. LAM-HTGTS differs from related approaches because it detects a wide range of broken end structures with nucleotide level resolution. Familiarity with nucleic acid methods and next-generation sequencing analysis are necessary for library generation and data interpretation. LAM-HTGTS assays are sensitive, reproducible, relatively inexpensive, scalable, and straightforward to implement with a turnaround time of less than one week.
