Q

What is the procedure of ChIP-Seq (6 steps)

A
  1. Treat cells with formaldehyde to crosslink between DNA and histone of nucleosomes
  2. Ruptrue the cell and treat with micrococcal nuclease, which cuts linkers from nucleosomes
  3. Add histone antibody-treated bead to precipitate nucleosomes
  4. Isolate linker DNAs or nucleosome DNAs via centrifugation and electrophoresis
  5. Add short and known DNA sequences at both ends of isolated DNA
  6. Run PCR
