Instrument: Illumina HiSeq 2000
Strategy: ChIP-Seq
Source: GENOMIC
Selection: ChIP
Layout: SINGLE
Construction protocol: Cells were formaldehyde cross-linked (1% final concentration) for 10 minutes in RPMI with 10% FBS. Quenching was performed by addition of 1M glycine (125 mM final concentration) with gentle mixing for 10 minutes at room temperature. Cells were washed with cold PBS and lysed in an SDS buffer (1% SDS, 10 mM EDTA, 50 mM Tris pH 8.0) with protease inhibitors before chromatin was fragmented using a Diagenode Bioruptor to an average size of less than 300 bp as determined using an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100. Lysates were immunoprecipitated with the listed antibodies conjugated to Protein-A Dynabeads (5 ug antibody incubated with beads for 2-4 hours at 4°C) overnight at 4°C. The beads were then washed with the following buffers each for 3 minutes at 4°C - low salt buffer (150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris pH 8.0, 0.1% SDS), high salt buffer (500 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris pH 8.0, 0.1% SDS), LiCl buffer (250 mM LiCl, 50 mM Tris pH 8.0, 0.5% Na deoxycholate, 1% NP40), and TE buffer (10 mM Tris pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA). After washing, crosslinks were reversed overnight at 65°C in 250 uL elution buffer (1% SDS, 100 mM NaHCO3) followed by addition of proteinaseK and incubation at 56°C for 1 hour. DNA was purified with QIAquick PCR purification columns. At least 3 ng of DNA was used to for indexed library preparation using Illumina TruSeq adapters and standard Illumina protocols. Fragments were size selected (average fragment-size: 200-400 bp for ChIP; 50-200 for FAIRE) using Agencourt AMPure XP beads prior to amplification. Samples were pooled (6-10 per lane) and sequenced.
