Discovering Transcriptional Regulatory Elements From Run-On and Sequencing Data Using the Web-Based dREG Gateway.


ABSTRACT: Transcription is a chromatin mark that can be used effectively to identify the location of active enhancers and promoters, collectively known as transcriptional regulatory elements (TREs). We recently introduced dREG, a tool for the identification of TREs using run-on and sequencing (RO-seq) assays, including global run-on and sequencing (GRO-seq), precision run-on and sequencing (PRO-seq), and chromatin run-on and sequencing (ChRO-seq). In this protocol, we present step-by-step instructions for running dREG on an arbitrary run-on and sequencing dataset. Users provide dREG with bigWig files (in which each read is represented by a single base) representing the location of RNA polymerase in a cell or tissue sample of interest, and dREG returns a list of genomic regions that are predicted to be active TREs. Finally, we demonstrate the use of dREG regions in discovering transcription factors controlling response to a stimulus and predicting their target genes. Together, this protocol provides detailed instructions for running dREG on arbitrary run-on and sequencing data. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
