Analysis of 3D Chromatin Structure Using Super-Resolution Imaging (Alistair Boettiger)
Episode 104
July 13, 2023
In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Alistair Boettiger from Stanford University about his work on the analysis of 3D chromatin structure of single cells using super-resolution imaging.
Alistair Boettiger and his team focus on developing advanced microscopy techniques to understand gene regulation at the level of 3D genome organization. They have developed Optical Reconstruction of Chromatin Architecture (ORCA), a microscopy approach to trace the 3-dimensional DNA path in the nucleus with genomic resolution down to 2 kb and a throughput of ~10,000 cells per experiment. These methods enable the identification of structural features with comparable resolution to Hi-C, while the advantages of microscopy such as single cell resolution and multimodal measurements remain.
