ChIP was performed as previously described (22 (link),36 (link),37 (link)) using the following antibodies: AR N20 [SC-816X, Santa Cruz], GABPα [SC-22810, Santa Cruz], ERG [SC-353, Santa Cruz]. Biological replicates were used. Enrichment was tested with 6 μl DNA by real-time PCR using SYBRgreen (Applied Biosystems). Single-end SOLEXA libraries were prepared as previously described (36 (link)) and 36 bp sequence reads were generated by the Illumina HiSeq 2000. Sequence reads were aligned against the Human Reference Genome (assemby hg18, NCBI Build 36 (link)) using Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) version 0.5.5 (38 (link)). Reads were filtered by removing those with a BWA alignment quality score less than 15 as well as duplicate reads. Enriched regions of the genome were identified by comparing ChIP samples to input samples using MACS (39 (link)) and SWEMBL (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/∼swilder/SWEMBL/). Only peaks that were identified by both MACS and SWEMBL (high confidence peaks) were used for further analyses.
