ChIP followed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (ChIP-qPCR) was performed as described previously (31 (link)). Antibodies specific for CTCF (Millipore 07–729) or normal rabbit IgG (Millipore 12-370) were used. qPCR was performed using SYBR Green reagents (Life Technologies) and primers listed in Supplementary Table S1B.
ChIP and deep-sequencing (ChIP-seq) data was generated according to standard protocol as described previously (20 (link)). Antibodies used were from Abcam (ab) or Millipore (mi) and specific for H3K4me1 (ab8895), H3K27ac (ab4729), H3K4me3 (mi07–473), H3K27me3 (mi07–449), H3K9me2 (ab1220), H3K9me3 (ab8898) and H3K36me3 (ab9050). H3K4me1 and H3K27ac data in Calu3 and HBE cells used here were generated previously (Calu3 (20 (link)), HBE (55 )) All data are deposited at GEO (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo; GSE63400, GSE74709, GSE94726).
