Figure 4.

Hi-C analysis of chromosome conformation in meiotic prophase of wild-type (AM28719), eco1-aa (AM28720), wpl1Δ (AM29750), and eco1-aa wpl1Δ (AM29781) cells carrying ndt80Δ. Strains were harvested 6 hr after induction of sporulation. (A) Schematic representation of homologous chromosomes emanating from a proteinaceous axis and depicting intra- and inter-sister chromatid cohesin in meiotic prophase. (B) Flow cytometry confirms similar staging in all strains. (C) Contact probability versus genomic distance (P(s)) for the indicated strains, excluding contacts across centromeres (1 kb bin; log10 scale). The derivative of the P(s) curve (slope) plotted against genomic distance is shown below. (D) Contact maps (1 kb bin) show individual chromosome IX for the indicated genotypes. The arrowhead indicates the position of the centromere (CEN9).
