Abstract
En 中文
The advent of single-molecule, long-read sequencing (LRS) technologies by Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Pacific Biosciences has revolutionized genomics, transcriptomics and, more recently, epigenomics research. These technologies offer distinct advantages, including the direct detection of methylated DNA and simultaneous assessment of DNA sequences spanning multiple kilobases along with their modifications at the single-molecule level. This has enabled the development of new assays for analyzing chromatin states and made it possible to integrate data for DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility, transcription factor binding and histone modifications, thereby facilitating comprehensive epigenomic profiling. Owing to recent advancements, alternative, nascent and translating transcripts can be detected using LRS approaches. This Review discusses LRS-based experimental and computational strategies for characterizing chromatin states and highlights their advantages over short-read sequencing methods. Furthermore, we demonstrate how various long-read methods can be integrated to design multi-omics studies to investigate the relationship between chromatin states and transcriptional dynamics.
