Dataset Summary
TitleSingle-molecule chromatin tracing reveals a diversity of megabase heterochromatin domains
DescriptionChromosomes fold into distinct domains that regulate transcription, replication, and repair. Beyond well-characterized TADs and compartments, the diversity of heterochromatin domains remains poorly defined at the sequence level. Using single-molecule tracing of nascent heterochromatin in C. elegans, we identify three classes of megabase-scale domains: (i) sharp-boundary, Condensin I-dependent Topological Associating Domain-like domains (TADLs), which arise prior to zygotic genome activation; (ii) similarly sized, but Condensin-independent, elegans Condensin-Independent Domains (elCIDs), one of which encompasses the 5S-Spliced Leader repeat locus; and (iii) decompacted, diffuse structures that are abundant in the population, but likely missed by crosslinking assays. Condensin I sits at the border of the TADL domain whereas DNA binding proteins, active histone marks and maternally active genes flank the elCID domains, suggesting boundaries are established by distinct mechanisms for different types of domains. Our results uncover previously unrecognized heterochromatin architectures and implicate maternal transcriptional activity in shaping domain boundaries in early embryos in C. elegans.
