Differences in RNA polymerase II complexes and their interactions with surrounding chromatin on human and cytomegalovirus genomes [ChIP-seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To investigate the chromatin structure surrounding human RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription on host and viral genomes, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was performed following digestion of HCMV infected primary human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs) with DNA Fragmentation Factor (DFF). DFF is a human endonuclease responsible for cleaving between nucleosomes during apoptosis. We found that utilizing DFF as the front end for ChIP-Seq in place of sonication or Micrococcal nuclease (MNase) offered new insights into the connections between active transcription and the local chromatin on the host and that these connections were completely absent on the HCMV genome.
