Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome is a genetic disease where an aberrant form of Lamin A disrupts chromatin by interfering with lamina associated domains. Here, the authors present the SAMMY-seq, a method for genome-wide characterization of heterochromatin dynamics and detect early stage alterations of heterochromatin structure in progeria primary fibroblasts, accompained by Polycomb dysfunctions.
