definition

SPRITE (split-pool recognition of interactions and tag extension) is an assay designed to detect multi-way interactions between nucleic acids. The procedure involves crosslinking nuclei, and then splitting the lysate among wells in a 96-well or other multi-well plate. A different barcode is ligated to the fragments in each well, and the lysates are pooled together again. This sequence of splitting, tagging, and re-combining is repeated several times so that fragments with the same sequences of barcodes represent fragments that have co-associated throughout the experiment. Finally, a sequencing library is constructed and high-throughput sequencing is performed.
