Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and ChIP-qPCR are performed as described previously [18 (link), 67 (link)]. Infected RBCs were cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde (Catalogue number- 28908, THERMO Scientific) for 10 min, lysed and sonicated. ChIP samples were reverse-crosslinked and DNA was purified using a Qiaquick column (Qiagen). Target sites obtained from ChIP-seq analysis were further validated by quantitative PCR using Power SYBR Green Master Mix (Applied Biosystems).
