Profiling chromatin regulatory landscape: insights into the development of ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq
Chromatin regulatory landscape plays a critical role in many disease processes and embryo development. Epigenome sequencing technologies such as chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high ...

Protocol to apply spike-in ChIP-seq to capture massive histone acetylation in human cells
Summary: Inhibition of histone deacetylases causes rapid and robust acetylation of histones. In this case, histone acetylation is likely increased on nearly every nucleosome, and the per-cell DNA/chromatin yield in chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP ...

Systematic comparison of monoclonal versus polyclonal antibodies for mapping histone modifications by ChIP-seq. [PDF]
BackgroundThe robustness of ChIP-seq datasets is highly dependent upon the antibodies used. Currently, polyclonal antibodies are the standard despite several limitations: They are non-renewable, vary in performance between lots and need to be validated ...

The Snail repressor recruits EZH2 to specific genomic sites through the enrollment of the lncRNA HOTAIR in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition [PDF]
The transcription factor Snail is a master regulator of cellular identity and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) directly repressing a broad repertoire of epithelial genes.

Additional sex combs interacts with enhancer of zeste and trithorax and modulates levels of trimethylation on histone H3K4 and H3K27 during transcription of hsp70. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Maintenance of cell fate determination requires the Polycomb group for repression; the trithorax group for gene activation; and the enhancer of trithorax and Polycomb (ETP) group for both repression and activation.

High-Resolution Chromatin Immunoprecipitation: ChIP-Sequencing [PDF]
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) coupled with next-generation sequencing (NGS) is widely used for studying the nucleoprotein components that are involved in the various cellular processes required for shaping the bacterial nucleoid. This methodology, termed ChIP-sequencing (ChIP-seq), enables the identification of the DNA targets of DNA binding ...

Specific binding of the methyl binding domain protein 2 at the BRCA1-NBR2 locus [PDF]
The methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) proteins are key molecules in the interpretation of DNA methylation signals leading to gene silencing. We investigated their binding specificity at the constitutively methylated region of a CpG island containing the ...
