Abstract

The three-dimensional (3D) genome organization influences diverse nuclear processes. Chromatin interaction analysis by paired-end tag sequencing (ChIA-PET) and Hi-C are powerful methods to study the 3D genome organization. However, ChIA-PET and Hi-C experiments are expensive, time-consuming, require tens to hundreds of millions of cells, and are challenging to optimize and analyze. Predicting ChIA-PET/Hi-C data using cheaper ChIP-Seq data and other easily obtainable features could be a useful alternative. It is well-established that the cohesin protein complex is a key determinant of 3D genome organization. Here we present Chromatin Interaction Predictor (ChIPr), a suite of regression models based on deep neural networks (DNN), random forest, and gradient boosting, respectively, to predict cohesin-mediated chromatin interaction strength between any two loci in the genome. Comprehensive tests on four cell lines show that the predictions of ChIPr correlate well with the original ChIA-PET data at the peak-level resolution and bin sizes of 25 and 5 Kbp. In addition, ChIPr can accurately capture most of the cell-type-dependent loops identified by ChIA-PET and Hi-C data. Rigorous feature testing indicated that genomic distance and RAD21 (a cohesin component) ChIP-Seq signals are the most important inputs for ChIPr in determining chromatin interaction strength. The standard ChIPr model requires three experimental inputs: ChIP-Seq signals for RAD21, H3K27ac (enhancer/active chromatin mark) and H3K27me3 (inactive chromatin mark). The minimal ChIPr model performs comparably and requires a single experimental input: ChIP-Seq signals for RAD21. Integrative analysis revealed novel insights into the role of CTCF motif, its orientation, and CTCF binding on the prevalence and strength of cohesin-mediated chromatin interactions. These studies outline the general features of genome folding and open new avenues to analyze spatial genome organization in specimens with limited cell numbers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
