Protein-mediated chromatin interactions can be revealed by coupling proximity-based ligation with chromatin immunoprecipitation.However,these techniques require complex experimental procedures and millions of cells per experiment,which limits their widespread application in life science research.Here,we develop a novel method,Hi-Tag,that identifies high-resolution,long-range chromatin inter-actions through transposase tagmentation and chromatin proximity ligation(with a phosphorothioate-modified linker).Hi-Tag can be implemented using as few as 100,000 cells,involving simple experimental procedures that can be completed within 1.5 days.Meanwhile,Hi-Tag is capable of using its own data to identify the binding sites of specific proteins,based on which,it can acquire accurate interaction information.Our results suggest that Hi-Tag has great potential for advancing chromatin interaction studies,particularly in the context of limited cell availability.
