  • experimental design of ChIP-Seq

    Hi all. I have a question regarding the experimental design of ChIP-Seq. We have cells in two different states, and we would like to compare the binding profile differences between two states. Should we keep the cell amounts used in the ChIP the same?

    By the way, could anyone recommend a tool to analyze the binding profile differences?

    Thanks very much! Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

    In general I would say yes, if possible. Since you want to detect differences between states you should keep everything the same between cells except for the "state" variable I.e. randomize possible confounding factors between the two state groups so that the differences can be attributed to the state condition.

    Have a look at these tools (there should be more): MMDiff: quantitative testing for shape changes in ChIP-Seq data sets and DiffBind

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
