DSBCapture is a double-strand DNA break (DSB) mapping methodology that maps DSBs in situ to single-nucleotide resolution. DSBs are captured through the ligation of a modified Illumina adapter to broken DNA ends inside isolated, fixed nuclei. Break sites are subsequently decoded to single-nucleotide resolution by Illumina sequencing.

DSBCapture is a substantially improved DSB mapping methodology derived from BLESS¹ that maps DSBs in situ to single-nucleotide resolution. The procedure involves the ligation of a modified Illumina adapter to DSBs in fixed nuclei. The subsequent lysis of the nuclei and the fragmentation of the DNA generates a second free end, to which a second modified Illumina adapter is ligated. PCR amplification of the ligated DNA fragments generates a library that can be directly sequenced on the Illumina platform. DSBs are decoded to single-nucleotide resolution in single-end sequencing, where the first base sequenced identifies the site of in situ DSB formation. The DSBCapture workflow is depicted in Fig.1. DSBCapture can be universally applied for the study of DSBs; these can for example be endogenous, drug-induced or nuclease cleavage sites. The complete experimental procedure takes approximately 8 days. We suggest using 20 million cells per sample: 10 million for the full procedure and 10 million for a control performed without T4 DNA ligase in the first ligation reaction.

Day 1: Cell fixation

Note: centrifugation steps were performed in a bench top centrifuge e.g. Eppendorf 5810R. Once cells have been harvested, work with cells in Falcon tubes.

Grow cells to 70 % confluency Note: We suggest using 20 million cells per sample: 10 million for the full procedure and 10 million for a control performed without T4 DNA ligase in the first ligation reaction.

Wash cells with PBS (-/-)
Detach cells using trypsin (e.g. HeLa/U2OS) or accutase (e.g. NHEKs)
Add an equal amount of complete growth medium to the detached cells
Transfer cells to a Falcon tube and centrifuge at 1300 rpm for 5 min at room temperature to pellet the cells
Remove the supernatant, re-suspend cells in complete medium and count
Make a single cell suspension (by pipetting up and down 10 times) of 1 million cells/1.5 mL in DMEM 10 % FBS (maximum of 25 million cells / 50 mL Falcon tube)
To the single cell suspension add formaldehyde to a final concentration of 2 %
Rotate (7 rpm) at room temperate for 30 min
Add 2 M glycine to achieve a final concentration of 125 mM
Rotate (7 rpm) for a further 5 min at room temperature
Chill samples on ice for 10 min From this point forward work on ice for the rest of the day unless stated otherwise.

Centrifuge cells at 1200 rpm for 5 min at 4 °C with the break switched off
Remove the supernatant, tap tube against hand to loosen the pellet and add ice cold PBS (same volume as was removed) Note: we suggest loosening pellet by tapping, rather than re-suspending using pipettes, to avoid loss of material.

Invert tube 5 times
Centrifuge the cells at 1200 rpm for 5 min at 4 °C with the break switched off
Remove the supernatant, tap tube against hand to loosen the pellet and add ice cold PBS (same volume as was removed)
Store fixed cells in PBS at 4 °C over night or alternatively proceed immediately to day 2

Day 2: Isolation of nuclei

Note: centrifugation steps were performed in a bench top centrifuge e.g Eppendorf 5810R. Work with cells in Falcon tubes. Work on ice unless stated otherwise.

Centrifuge cells at 1200 rpm for 5 min at 4 °C with the break switched off
Remove supernatant, tap tube against hand to loosen the pellet
Add chilled Lysis buffer (see reagents; 200 μL/10⁶ cells)
Invert tube gently until the pellet is re-suspended
Incubate for 90 min at 4 °C rotating at 7 rpm
Centrifuge cells at 1200 rpm for 5 min at 4 °C with the break switched off
Remove supernatant and tap tube against hand to loosen the pellet (image cells, see Fig.2b for representative images of cells at this point)
Add room temperature Nucleus Break buffer (see reagents; 200 μl/10⁶ cells)
Invert tube gently until the pellet is re-suspended
Incubate at 37 °C for 45 min whilst gently rotating
Centrifuge cells at 1200 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature with the break switched off. Note: room temperature is required to avoid the precipitation of SDS.
Remove the supernatant. Pellet may be loose, remove as much supernatant as possible without disturbing the pellet
Add chilled 1 × NEBuffer 2 (see reagents) + 0.1 % Triton X-100 (freshly added) so that the final volume in the tube is equivalent to 10 million cells/mL
Re-suspend by pipetting up and down and transfer nuclei to 2 ml Eppendorf tubes (10 million nuclei/tube i.e. 1 mL/tube) Note: familiarise yourself with steps 33-35 before proceeding.

Place samples on ice and add Proteinase K (20 mg/ml) to a final concentration of 100 μg/ml
Vortex samples briefly at minimum power and then incubate for 8 minutes at 37 °C in a water bath
Work quickly: Place samples on ice and immediately add an equal volume of NEBuffer 2 + 0.1 % Triton X-100 (freshly added) + 1:50 PMSF (freshly added; filter buffer through 0.2 μm filter before adding)
Invert tubes to mix Note: now that cells are in 2 ml Eppendorf tubes centrifuge samples in a bench top microcentrifuge (e.g. Eppendorf 5415R).

Critical steps applying to all centrifugation steps until the nuclei are lysed: the pellet may not be visible in the tube by eye. Centrifuge with the hinge of the Eppendorf tube facing outwards so that the pellet will accumulate against the wall of the tube at the side with the hinge. Knowing the position of the pellet carefully remove as much of the supernatant as possible (approximately 50 μL can be left behind). If the pellet is accidentally removed it may be visible in the pipette tip. Do not discard the supernatant, but transfer it to another Eppendorf tube. Check the supernatant for nuclei (see below) – if the supernatant contains nuclei, centrifuge the supernatant again with a spin speed 1000 g greater than the indicated spin speed. Remove the supernatant and add the recovered nuclei back to the original tube (this is most easily done by adding the wash buffer or reaction buffer for the subsequent step to the pelleted nuclei and then transferring the nuclei/buffer solution back the original tube. Also make sure that the supernatant from this repeated centrifugation step is free from nuclei. Different cell types behave differently during the centrifugation steps and thus require slightly different spin-speeds. It is important not to loose material during the wash steps so we recommend checking the supernatant for nuclei after each centrifugation step and to re-centrifuge if necessary. Checking for nuclei: mix 10 μL of supernatant with 10 μL trypan blue and visualise nuclei using a light microscope. We use Ibidi slides to aid this process.

Centrifuge the nuclei at 1200 g for 10 min at 4 °C and remove the supernatant

After 15 cycles, image 1 μl DNA on an agarose gel to determine the average fragment length and assess whether further cycles of sonication are necessary.

Once the desired fragment length has been obtained transfer DNA to LoBind Eppendorf tube Note: work with DNA in LoBind Eppendorf tubes wherever possible.

Quantify DNA (e.g. Qubit fluorimeter)
Store samples at -20 °C or alternatively proceed directly to day 6

Day 6: Second adapter ligation (modified P7 Illumina adapter)

Work at room temperature unless specified otherwise.

Note: anneal the modified P7 Illumina adapter with its complement before use (see methods in manuscript).

Use 5 μl Dynabeads MyOne Strepdavidin C1 per 50 μg of DNA Note: 10 million cells should yield over 50 μg of DNA but if less DNA is available use as much as possible; we have also performed experiments using 20 μg and observed a similar number of peaks (see: Supplementary Fig. 4c in the manuscript).

Wash beads twice with 1 mL 1 × W&B buffer + 0.1 % Triton X-100 (freshly added)
Add an equal volume of 2 × W&B buffer + 0.2% Triton X-100 (freshly added) to the DNA to create a 1 × final concentration

Place tubes onto magnetic rack to capture the beads and remove the supernatant
Wash beads 3 × in 1 mL 1 × W&B buffer + 0.1 % Triton X-100 (freshly added) Critical step: when washing the beads, replace buffer immediately after removing it. Do not let the beads dry.

Day 7: Library amplification

Wash beads 3 × in 1 ml W&B buffer + 0.1 % Triton X-100 at room temperature Critical step: when washing the beads, replace buffer immediately after removing it. Do not let the beads dry.

Re-suspend beads in 25 μl nuclease free water
Place samples on ice From this point forward work on ice for the rest of the day unless stated otherwise.

Perform PCR: each 25 μl sample will make up 5 reactions Note: Multiple PCR R (reverse) primers are available (see end of protocol). Each has a different barcode sequence to enable multiplexing of samples on the Illumina platform during sequencing. If multiple samples will be sequenced together in one sequencing reaction ensure that each sample is amplified with a different PCR R primer. Ensure to record the AD number of the primer used to amplify each sample. The AD numbers reflect Illumina TruSeq adapter sequences and thus DSBCapture libraries can be sequenced like Illumina TruSeq libraries (i.e. single index, 6 bp).

PCR reagents per reaction:

1.25 μl 20 μM F primer

1.25 μl 20 μM R primer

5 μl Beads

17.5 μl nuclease free water

25 μl NEBNext High-Fidelity 2 × Master Mix

Note: after the addition of all reagents pipette sample up down, do not centrifuge as this will cause the beads to pellet.

Cycling parameters (total of 15 cycles):

98 °C for 30 sec
98 °C for 10 sec
65 °C for 30 sec
72 °C for 30 sec Loop back to 2. 14 times, for a total of 15 cycles

72 °C for 5 min

Centrifuge to pellet the beads and recover PCR product (supernatant). Store the PCR product at -80 °C or alternatively proceed directly to day 8. Beads can now be discarded.

Day 8: Size selection, quantification and sequencing

Either pass the PCR sample through a Qiagen MinElute PCR clean up column (100 μl PCR product / column) and then load sample into BluePippin gel extraction system (1.5 % agarose cassette) and extract 250-1200 bp OR omit PCR clean up step and directly load PCR product into 2 % hand cast agarose gel; manually extract band at 250-1200 bp and then clean up the DNA using Qiagen MinElute gel extraction kit. Note: if performing manual gel extraction: the DNA concentration can sometimes be low and therefore the DNA may not always be visible, in such cases cut the gel using the reference ladder as a guide and continue. The DNA will be visible on the subsequent Bioanalyser profile.

Run sample on Bioanalyser or TapeStation (high sensitivity chip) to determine the library size. All negative controls should not contain any DNA. See anticipated results (Fig.3)
Quantify DNA using the KAPA Library Quantification Kit
Proceed to sequencing and store excess DNA at -20 °C
