Single-cell multi-omic detection of DNA methylation and histone modifications reconstructs the dynamics of epigenomic maintenance
DNA methylation and histone modifications encode epigenetic information. Recently, major progress was made to measure either mark at a single-cell resolution; however, a method for simultaneous detection is lacking, preventing study of their interactions. Here, to bridge this gap, we developed scEpi2-seq. Our technique provides a readout of histone modifications and DNA methylation at the single-cell and single-molecule level. Application in a cell line with the FUCCI cell cycle reporter system reveals how DNA methylation maintenance is influenced by the local chromatin context. In addition, profiling of H3K27me3 and DNA methylation in the mouse intestine yields insights into epigenetic interactions during cell type specification. Differentially methylated regions also demonstrated independent cell-type regulation in addition to H3K27me3 regulation, which reinforces that CpG methylation acts as an additional layer of control in facultative heterochromatin. This work presents scEpi2-seq, a method for simultaneous single-cell profiling of DNA methylation and histone modifications, enabling direct investigation of the interplay between these two epigenomic marks.
