The preparation of ChIP and input DNA libraries was performed as previously described [32 (link)]. In brief, two cells were crosslinked with 1% formaldehyde for 5 min at room temperature and quenched with glycine (125 mM). Cells were then put on ice, resuspended in cold cell lysis buffer [140 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA pH 8.0, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, and protease inhibitors (Roche)]. Nuclei were sonicated into fragments of 200–1000 bp in size. The chromatin fragments were precleared and then immunoprecipitated with Protein A + G magnetic beads coupled with anti-H3K4me3 (ab8580; Abcam), anti-H3K27ac (ab4729; Abcam), anti-H3K27me3 (07-449; Millipore), and anti-CTCF (ab70303; Abcam). After reverse crosslinking, immunoprecipitated DNA and input DNA were end-repaired and adapters were ligated to the DNA fragments using NEBNext Ultra End-Repair/dA-Tailing Module (E7442; NEB) and NEBNext Ultra Ligation Module (E7445; NEB). High-throughput sequencing of the ChIP fragments was performed using Illumina NextSeq 500, following the manufacturer’s protocol.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
