Hi. I found this forum by google and this is my first time posting thread here. Now I meet a problem in ChIP-seq. There is a sharp peak around TSS region in my Input samples. Although I have heard that the TSS region might be more sensitivity to sonication, my Input sample give so sharp peak around TSS region. Have anyone met this problem too? Why?

You should post this in the epigenetics forum but the answer is open chromatin sonicates more efficiently. Check out FAIRE-seq
DNA segments that actively regulate transcription in vivo are typically characterized by eviction of nucleosomes from chromatin and are experimentally identified by their hypersensitivity to nucleases. Here we demonstrate a simple procedure for the isolation of nucleosome-depleted DNA from human chr …
The question is how to minimize this effect.--------------

Are you sure that it's a peak at the TSS, rather than a trough before? We saw this in a number of different samples and it turned out that the major cause (although there may be others) was a loss of mappability in promoters containing CpG islands. If we separated out our transcripts into those whose promoter contained CpG islands, and those which didn't then we saw very different shaped profiles.

Senior Member: In my samples, it is a peak/enrichment around TSS and a trough around TES. I did twice ChIP-seq: one is not so sharp, but another one is very sharp and affect my decision on the ChIP lane.
Yeah, I also saw trough aroudn TSS in "Input" of other people's samples. Your explanation for trough around TSS seems to be a good answer for such phenomenon. Thanks a lot!

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...-

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
