项目摘要

Project Summary: Though a reference human genome and even excellent characterization of the epigenome (ENCODE, Epigenetics Roadmap) has been generated, the significance of noncoding genetic or epigenetic changes is still far from clear. With the advent of affordable DNA- sequencing technologies, methods have been developed for examining nuclear organization, chromatin state/histone post translation modifications, chromatin accessibility and methylation state. But these methods do not directly interrogate the DNA strand, and the reads are typically too short to provide critical correlative information. We propose the development of a novel epigenetic characterization methodology, fundamentally through the practical implementation of the sequencing of modified bases using a nanopore sequencing platform. Nanopore sequencing directly probes the chemical structure of the molecule in the pore with exquisite sensitivity. Its long reads enable correlation of epigenetic state over large (>10kb) stretches of the genome; each of these reads originates from a single cell, probing the epigenetic heterogeneity of the sample.

项目摘要：尽管参考人类基因组，甚至是对已经产生了表观基因组（编码，表观遗传学路线图），其意义非编码遗传或表观遗传学变化远非清晰。随着负担得起的DNA的出现测序技术，已开发用于检查核组织的方法，染色质状态/组蛋白的翻译后修饰，染色质可及性和甲基化状态。但是这些方法不会直接询问DNA链，并且读取通常是太短了，无法提供关键的相关信息。我们提出了小说的发展表观遗传特征方法从根本上是通过实际实施使用纳米孔测序平台对修改基碱的测序。纳米孔测序直接以精致的灵敏度直接探测孔中分子的化学结构。它是长期读取可以使大型基因组伸展的表观遗传状态相关。每个这些读取源自单个细胞，探测样品的表观遗传异质性。
