Amplification of pico-scale DNA mediated by bacterial carrier DNA for small-cell-number transcription factor ChIP-seq
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: ChIP-seq is used to map transcription factor occupancy and generate epigenetic profiles genome-wide. The requirement of nano-scale ChIP DNA for generation of sequencing libraries has impeded ChIP-seq on in vivo tissues of low cell numbers. We describe a robust, simple and scalable methodology for ChIP-seq of low-abundant cell populations, reliably amplifying 50 pg of ChIP DNA, corresponding to ~30,000 input cells for transcription factor ChIP (CEBPA) and 3,000 cells for histone mark ChIP (H3K27me3). This represents a significant advance compared to existing technologies, which involve complex and time-consuming steps of pre-amplification, making them susceptible to experimental biases.
