  1. DNase-seq (purpose)
    identifies open regions of chromatin
  2. DNase-seq (description)
    • relies on preferential digestion of chromatin regions unprotected by bound proteins, which are hypersensitive to DNase I
    • following digestion, run on a gel
    • prep you library
    • deep sequencing
  3. FAIRE-seq (purpose)
    identifies crosslinked chromatin interacting with proteins
  4. FAIRE-seq (description)
    • relies on cross-linked chromatin, assisted by treatment with formaldhyde
    • sonication
    • extraction of the naked DNA fragments, the naked DNA left behind is purified and sequenced
  5. Proximity Ligation Assay (PLA) (purpose)
    to find protein-protein interactions that might otherwise be difficult to quantify
  6. PLA (description)
  7. MNase-seq (describe)
    Nuclei are isolated and chromatin is crosslinked and digested with Micrococcal Nuclease that in the presence of Ca2+ digests all exposed DNA

    • Nucleosomes and TFs shield DNA “footprints” from digestion and protected DNA fragments are purified, adapted, next-gen sequenced
    • and the reads are mapped to the genome
  8. MNase-seq (purpose)
    profiles nucleosome occupancy and position
  9. ATAC-seq (purpose)
    accessible regions of the genome are accessed by adapters
  10. ATAC-seq (description)
