Single-cell joint detection of chromatin occupancy and transcriptome enables higher-dimensional epigenomic reconstructions

Haiqing Xiong et al.Oct 16, 2020
SUMMARY Deciphering mechanisms in cell fate decisions requires single-cell holistic reconstructions of multi-dimensional epigenome in transcriptional regulation. Here we develop CoTECH, a combinatorial barcoding method allowing for high-throughput single-cell joint detection of chromatin occupancy and transcriptome. First, we used CoTECH to examine bivalent histone marks (H3K4me3 and H3K27me3) with transcription from naïve to primed mouse embryonic stem cells. Concurrent bivalent marks in pseudo-single cells linked via transcriptome were computationally derived, resolving pseudotemporal bivalency trajectories and disentangling a context-specific interplay between H3K4me3/H3K27me3 and transcription level. Next, CoTECH with H3K27ac, an active enhancer marker, revealed the regulatory basis of endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition in two waves of hematopoietic cells and distinctive enhancer-gene linking schemes guiding hemogenic endothelial cell (HEC) emergence, indicating a unique epigenetic control of transcriptional regulation for hematopoietic stem cell priming. Together, CoTECH provides an efficient framework for single-cell co-assay of chromatin occupancy and transcription, thus, enabling higher-dimensional epigenomic reconstructions.
