Abstract | Natural and experimental genetic variants can modify DNA loops and insulating boundaries to tune transcription, but it is unknown how sequence perturbations affect chromatin organization genome wide. We developed a deep-learning strategy to quantify the effect of any insertion, deletion, or substitution on chromatin contacts and systematically scored millions of synthetic variants. While most genetic manipulations have little impact, regions with CTCF motifs and active transcription are highly sensitive, as expected. Our unbiased screen and subsequent targeted experiments also point to noncoding RNA genes and several families of repetitive elements as CTCF-motif-free DNA sequences with particularly large effects on nearby chromatin interactions, sometimes exceeding the effects of CTCF sites and explaining interactions that lack CTCF. We anticipate that our disruption tracks may be of broad interest and utility as a measure of 3D genome sensitivity, and our computational strategies may serve as a template for biological inquiry with deep learning. |
