Mono nucleosomes were prepared from cultured CD8 T cells by micrococcal nuclease digestion as described (30 (link)). H3K9me3-modified nucleosomes were immunoprecipitated using anti-H3K9me3 (Abcam 8898) conjugated with Protein G magnetic beads (Life Technologies). For genome-wide analysis, purified DNA from precipitated nucleosomes was sequenced with a HiSeq 2500 sequencer (Illumina) with a 50-bp single end read option as described (23 (link)).
