Reference intervals: basis and sources

Hover a reference value for its basis. Numeric colored ranges are local screening settings unless stated otherwise. Biological expectations, statistical baselines and design objectives provide context and do not introduce new pass/fail thresholds.

Adapter dimers. Illumina recommends ≤0.5% for patterned flow cells and ≤5% for non-patterned flow cells, assessed relative to the full library by trace/electropherogram analysis. These percentages are not calibrated equivalents of ONT raw-molecule dimer burden. Illumina: adapter dimers.

Library handles. Both P5 and P7 are required for cluster formation; observed ONT handle recovery also depends on sequencing and reconstruction. Illumina: library quantification.

Fragment sizes. CUT&RUN has target-dependent short and nucleosomal components. Micro-C MNase titration evaluates approximately 150-bp nucleosomal DNA and longer products before ligation. Neither provides a universal acceptable insert median or a calibrated threshold for the inferred fragments in this report. Skene & Henikoff, 2017; Mapping Mammalian 3D Genome Interactions with Micro-C-XL.

Size and adapter interpretation

The 120–170 bp raw-size window is supportive only. Dimer-like units have a ≤10-bp central gap. Unreconstructed template matches remain candidates; resolved 11–50 bp inserts are retained. Full-library sizes include expected outer adapters and inferred physical indexes, including units with undetected outer handles. The main profile weights each recovered unit by its modeled full-library length; count-based profiles are expandable. Curves are conditional on sequencing and adapter recovery and do not measure TapeStation fluorescence or NGS molarity.

Total library

Full library = insert + 136 bp adapter/index sequence. 4,749 modeled units. The main curve weights each unit by its full-library length.

Count-based profiles · full library, raw reads and inserts

Each recovered unit contributes one count to the full-library and insert profiles; each raw read contributes one count to the raw profile. Each curve has its own peak set to 100.

Chromosome coverage · auxiliary diagnostic

Inspect broad coverage imbalance and isolated concentration. Gene density and shallow coverage alone cannot establish target-specific enrichment or copy-number changes.

Assay interpretation

Micro-C endpoint composition is not assigned a biological success/failure label. The 200-contact minimum describes evidence count only. Cis and long-range cis use all unique valid contacts; Wilson 95% intervals assume independent contacts and do not include molecule dependence or recovery bias. Short inward pairs below 200 bp are excluded heuristically and may include real local contacts. Full-insert ligation structure is reported separately.

MOLECULAR STRUCTURE

Micro-C ligation structure

Standard MNase blunt-end ligation has no fixed junction sequence. Whole-insert split alignments estimate the minimum number of resolved genomic fragments within each adapter-bounded library unit. ONT adapter-linked units are counted separately. One block does not establish unligated DNA; adjacent, short or repetitive fragments can be missed. Unresolved units remain in the all-unit denominator. These are exploratory structure measurements, not a calibrated ligation-efficiency assay.

FRAGMENTATION

Inferred pre-ligation size & MNase digestion

Reference-span lengths of resolved fragments in units with ≥2 genomic blocks. Panel A counts individual inferred fragments; panel B counts whole single-block inserts. They describe different observations.

A · Constituent fragments

Each observation is one resolved genomic block inside a unit with ≥2 blocks. For example, a 300-bp unit resolved as two 150-bp blocks contributes two observations near 150 bp.

mnase size trace
B · Whole inserts with one mapped block

Each observation is an entire insert resolved as one continuous genomic block. It can be unligated DNA or a product whose junction is not distinguishable, such as adjacent genomic fragments.

single block size trace

Each curve has its own peak set to 100; its vertical grayscale lane shows the same count-weighted signal, with larger sizes at the top. Peak height and lane darkness cannot compare abundance between panels. Use the observation counts and ligation table for quantities. These are ONT-derived traces, not measured TapeStation fluorescence.

How to interpret digestion evidence

Conditional on successful ligation, library selection, sequencing and alignment resolution. Short/repetitive fragments may be lost. Adjacent collinear fragments can merge; reference span estimates protected genomic length, not exact physical pre-ligation length. No calibrated digestion efficiency or nucleosome identity is inferred. Size ranges are half-open: 100–200 means 100 ≤ length < 200 bp. The 100–200 bp fraction is mononucleosome-size evidence, not proof of nucleosome identity or a calibrated digestion pass threshold. Blocks below the alignment minimum (40 bp) are not observable. A direct pre-ligation MNase titration trace is still needed to assess the original digestion mixture.
