Adipocyte-Specific ATAC-Seq with Adipose Tissues Using Fluorescence-Activated Nucleus Sorting

We present a protocol for assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) specifically on adipocytes using nucleus sorting with adipose tissues isolated from transgenic reporter mice with nuclear fluorescence labeling. ATAC-seq is a powerful technique to understand gene expression regulatory mechanisms. However, adipose tissue is difficult using this technique…

Histone modifications regulate pioneer transcription factor cooperativity

Protein expression, mutagenesis and purification Xenopus laevis histones for nucleosome assembly were overexpressed in the Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) pLysS strain and purified from inclusion body as previously described48. The cells were grown in LB medium at 37 °C and induced with 1 mM IPTG when OD600 reached 0.6. After 3 h of expression,…

Transcriptomic analysis of benznidazole-resistant and susceptible Trypanosoma cruzi populations | Parasites & Vectors

Overview of sample sequencing We compared the transcriptomes of BZ-resistant (17LER) and wild-type (17WTS) T. cruzi populations. cDNA libraries were constructed, sequenced and analysed for identifying the DE transcripts associated with resistance to BZ. The following parameters were evaluated using the read-quality analysis: (i) quantity of the sequenced reads; (ii)…

G4 Structures in Control of Replication and Transcription of rRNA Genes

Description Genes encoding 45S ribosomal RNA (rDNA) are known for their abundance within eukaryotic genomes and for their unstable copy numbers in response to changes in various genetic and epigenetic factors. Commonly, we understand as epigenetic factors (affecting gene expression without a change in DNA sequence), namely…

Streamlined quantitative analysis of histone modification abundance at nucleosome-scale resolution with siQ-ChIP version 2.0

In this section, we derive a simplified expression for the proportionality constant \(\alpha\) that enables quantitative ChIP-seq and we introduce some consequences for track building. This new expression is more intuitive to understand, easier to evaluate, and more accurate to sequencing outcomes than the previous expression. While values derived from…

H2BNTac Represents a Novel Marker of Active Enhancers

Science has moved on since William Shakespeare put quill to parchment around 1600 to write the Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, but his legacy has survived to influence a new manuscript that describes the quest to discover histone modifications that better distinguish active enhancers. “H2B, or not H2B, that…

A multi-omics integrative analysis based on CRISPR screens re-defines the pluripotency regulatory network in ESCs

Genome-scale CRISPR screen to identify regulators that maintain mESC pluripotency To establish a function-based PGRN, we first performed a CRISPR-Cas9 mediated genome-wide screen to detect genes essential for self-renewal. mESCs were cultured under Leukaemia inhibitory factors (LIF)/serum condition (L/S), which was commonly used in similar tasks and confer a naïve…

Py-Im small molecules can be used to target cancer-specific coding regions and block transcription elongation. This transcription blockage by Py-Im cannot be rescued by transcription elongation factors, such as TFIIS. The mechanism by which…
