16. Magnetic rack. 1 Cross-Linking and Isolation of Plant Nuclei 1. 5–2 h). Collect approx. 5–10 g of 2-week old seedlings (see Note 1). Distribute the seedlings equally to four 50 ml conical tubes. Working under a fume hood at RT, add 15 ml of NIB and 15 ml of 4 % formaldehyde solution to each tube (see Note 2). Submerge the seedlings by pressing them down, using a nylon mesh (see Fig. 2a). Place the conical tubes in a desiccator connected to a vacuum pump and apply vacuum for 1 h. To ensure efficient vacuum infiltration, turn the vacuum on and off (by releasing the vacuum) a few times within the first 5 min of vacuum infiltration.

2a). Place the conical tubes in a desiccator connected to a vacuum pump and apply vacuum for 1 h. To ensure efficient vacuum infiltration, turn the vacuum on and off (by releasing the vacuum) a few times within the first 5 min of vacuum infiltration. 9 ml of 2 M glycine and applying the vacuum for 5 min. Subsequently, remove the NIB/ formaldehyde mixture and discard it into the appropriate chemical waste container. To remove residual formaldehyde, the seedlings are washed three times in ddH2O. During the vacuum infiltration, place the residual NIB on ice and add two tablets of protease inhibitor (complete protease inhibitor, Roche).

The nuclei suspension should finally reach a light green to (ideally) whitish color to ensure efficient digestion. Of course, adding more repetitions will decrease the final yield; thus, the researcher performing the Hi-C experiment has to subjectively judge the trade-off between purity and yield. Chromatin Conformation Capture-Based Analysis of Nuclear Architecture 29 8. The choice of the restriction enzyme is crucial for a successful Hi-C experiment. Try to use enzymes that are not blocked by methylation, can be purchased in high concentrations, and are known to digest efficiently.
