Although extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) has been intensively studied for several decades, the mechanisms underlying its tumorigenic effects have been revealed only recently. In the majority of conventional sequencing studies, the high-throughput short-read sequencing largely ignores the epigenetic status of most ecDNA regions except for the junctional areas. Here, we developed the sequencing of enzyme-accessible chromatin in circular DNA (CCDA-seq) method, which uses methylase to label open chromatin without fragmentation and exonuclease to enrich the ecDNA sequencing depth, followed by long-read nanopore sequencing. Using CCDA-seq, we observed significantly different patterns in nucleosome/regulator binding in ecDNA at a single-molecule resolution. These results deepen the understanding of ecDNA regulatory mechanisms.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
