Regulation of many nuclear functions in eukaryotic cells, such as transcription and splicing, relies on the association of specific genomic loci and/or transcripts with nuclear microenvironments having high molecular crowding, such as nuclear bodies. These membrane-less organelles are typically self-assembled through mechanisms of phase separation, and because of their liquid-like nature, analyzing their composition remains challenging. Here we present a detailed protocol of the RNA–DNA High-salt Recovered Sequence (RD-HRS) method, an extended version of the High-salt Recovered Sequence-sequencing (HRS-seq). Using high-salt treatments to make nuclear bodies insoluble, this extended version allows the profiling of both their RNA and genomic DNA contents, simultaneously, from the same biological sample.

摘要

Regulation of many nuclear functions in eukaryotic cells, such as transcription and splicing, relies on the association of specific genomic loci and/or transcripts with nuclear microenvironments having high molecular crowding, such as nuclear bodies. These membrane-less organelles are typically self-assembled through mechanisms of phase separation, and because of their liquid-like nature, analyzing their composition remains challenging. Here we present a detailed protocol of the RNA–DNA High-salt Recovered Sequence (RD-HRS) method, an extended version of the High-salt Recovered Sequence-sequencing (HRS-seq). Using high-salt treatments to make nuclear bodies insoluble, this extended version allows the profiling of both their RNA and genomic DNA contents, simultaneously, from the same biological sample.
