ChIP–qPCR was performed using the ChIP-IT High Sensitivity kit (Active Motif #53040) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, except that inputs were purified using a clean and concentrate column (Zymo Research #D5205), and the ChIP samples were eluted twice with 30 μL each for a total of 60 μL of elution buffer for the H3K4me3 and H3K9me3 ChIP assays. For each ChIP assay, the equivalent of 5 million cells was used for mESCs and 1 million cells for HEK 293T cells. These samples were analyzed by qPCR using primers and methods previously described (Table S1).15 (link) The antibodies used included G9a (Abcam #40542), H3K4me3 (Active Motif #39915), and H3K9me3 (Active Motif #39161).
