Project description:We assayed 284 human transcription factors (TFs) for DNA binding using selective microfluidics-based ligand enrichment followed by sequencing (SMiLE-seq). These experiments were part of the Codebook/GRECO-BiT collaboration aiming to identify the DNA binding sites of yet-uncharacterized TFs. All data has already been demultiplexed and associated with the corresponding TFs.
Project description:To understand the mechanism underlying monocyte and dendritic cell development through the regulation of Irf8 expression by the 56 kb downstream (+56 kb) Irf8 enhancer, we analyzed chromatin accessibility of bone marrow cells from wild-type and Irf8-/- mice. Combined with the epigenetic profiling by H3K27 acetylation ChIP-seq, the +56 kb enhancer opens at LMPP stage, and gets activated at its highest level in mononuclear phagocyte lineage progenitor cells.
