Nascent RNA-seq was performed as previously described (Kerry et al. 2017 (link)), after 96 h RUNX1 (SEM) or KMT2A-AFF1 (RS4;11) KD. Briefly, 1 × 108 SEM cells were treated with 500 μM 4-thiouridine (4-SU) for 1 h. Cells were lysed with TRIzol (Invitrogen), and total RNA was precipitated and DNase I-treated. 4-SU-incorporated RNA was purified by biotinylation and streptavidin bead pulldown. DNA libraries were prepared using the Ultra II Directional RNA library prep kit (NEB, E7765) and sequenced by paired-end sequencing using a NextSeq 500 (Illumina).
