The chromatin associated with the nuclear lamina (NL) is referred to as Lamina-Associated Domains (LADs). While mapping of this feature has been done using various technologies, technical limitations exist for each of the methods. Here, we present an adaptation of the Tyramide-Signal Amplification sequencing (TSA-seq) protocol, which we call chromatin pull down-based TSA-seq (cTSA-seq), that can be used to map chromatin regions at or near the NL from as little as 50,000 cells without using carriers. The cTSA-seq mapped regions are composed of LADs and smaller chromatin regions that fall within the chromatin B-compartment known to be enriched for heterochromatin and be present at the nuclear periphery. As a proof of principle, we used cTSA-seq to map chromatin at or near the assembling NL as cells exit mitosis and progress through early and later G1. Consistent with previous reports, lamin-B1 based cTSA-seq revealed that regions toward the distal ends of chromosomes are near or at the reassembling NL during early G1. The cTSA-seq mapping and analyses revealed similarity between the early G1 chromatin and oncogene-induced senescent cell populations. The cTSA-seq reported here represents a useful method for analyzing chromatin at or near the NL from small numbers of cells.
