“…These interactions were readily detected in purified nuclei, as they were in intact cells ( Figure S1). Third, 5C analysis of a 1 Mb region surrounding the beta-globin locus showed that known CTCF-mediated interactions were also preserved ( Figure S1; Kang et al, 2017;Splinter et al, 2006;Tolhuis et al, 2002). Fourth, genome-wide Hi-C analysis ) confirmed that chromosome territories, compartments (determined by principle component analysis, with compartments captured by the first principle component (PC1 ), TADs, and CTCF-CTCF loops were intact in isolated nuclei and quantitatively similar to those in intact cells ( Figure S1).…”
