Native chromatin was prepared from LS411N-5FU-R cells and digested with micrococcal nuclease to generate mononucleosomes using the Simple ChIP Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (Cell Signaling) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Chromatin fragments were then incubated with anti-H3K9me3 antibody (Abcam) and the chromatin-antibody complexes were isolated using Protein A agarose and salmon sperm DNA (Millipore) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The ChIP DNA fragments were then prepared using the TruSeq ChIP Sample Preparation Kit (Illumina) and sequenced using High-Seq 2500. Sequence reads in the FASTQ format were generated by the Illumina pipeline CASAVA 1.8.2, and were analyzed using MACS 1.4.2 as described (36 (link)). Peaks were annotated using in-house scripts and genes that have a peak in a promoter were fed into Panther to perform functional analysis.
