i5/i7 show resolved index sequences. Short arrows mark read starts and directions, not read lengths. Full P5/P7 and adapter sequences are listed below.

P5/P7 & adapter sequences

Sequences follow the physical 5′ P5-to-P7 strand. Detected sequences are matched reference motifs, not de novo consensus calls. Custom sequences without supporting matches are marked as configured. Standard P5/P7 handles are shared across library types and do not identify a preparation kit.

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. ONT raw-molecule dimer burden is a count-based screening measurement. It is not interchangeable with electrophoresis mass fraction or platform-specific loading limits. The configured thresholds are local screening settings.

Library handles. The expected library architecture includes both P5 and P7. Observed ONT handle recovery also depends on sequencing and reconstruction.

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.

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
  • Full library: one count per reconstructed unit. Length includes the insert and expected complete adapters/indexes, including undetected outer adapters.
  • Raw ONT molecule: one count per FASTQ read at its observed length.
  • Insert: one count per recovered insert.

A read with several library units contributes several full-library counts but one raw-read count. Each curve is scaled to its own peak of 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.

PAIRED-END PARSING

Pairtools pair types

Reconstructed ONT inserts are viewed as overlapping terminal reads of at most 150 bp, filtered with fastp, aligned with BWA-MEM2 and classified by Pairtools. Results are shown after duplicate marking. Percentages use every parsed pair, including unmapped pairs and masked walks.

Total library

4,747 eligible inserts → 4,734 parsed pairs; 13 excluded by fastp. 2 inserts <50 bp excluded before end extraction.

Pair types and analysis settings

UU: unique–unique; UR/RU: rescued single-ligation pairs; DD: coordinate duplicates marked within the sample; WW: masked complex walks; Other: remaining types, including unmapped or non-unique ends.

fastp paired-end adapter detection; BWA-MEM2 mem -SP; Pairtools parse with MAPQ ≥1, walks-policy mask, maximum inter-alignment gap 20 bp and maximum molecule size 2,000 bp; duplicate marking with a 1-bp tolerance, max method and scipy backend. Duplicates stay in the denominator. Sublibraries inherit marks from the full sample.

These are parsing outcomes, not direct ligation counts or a calibrated library-quality score. DD depends on sampling depth and does not estimate PCR duplication or library complexity. The native valid-contact metrics above use their own end geometry and filters. Pairtools definitions.

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.

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.
