  • ChIP-Sequencing for low enrichment samples

    Hey everyone,

    So I'm pretty new here and hope to get to know you all over the period of my PhD i.e. the next 2-3 years! :P

    So anyways, a lot of my current work involves preparation of ChIP-Seq libraries for a weakly bound factor i.e. a histone modifier in mouse ES cells. Now Im fairly well-versed with ChIP, its troubleshooting and optimisation. But I am still sort of a novice in terms of library preparation.

    Im using the Ethanomics protocol for ChIP-Seq preparation and the trouble I have with my sample is that when I run a QC for the same using qPCR, the enrichment in terms of Input percentage is in the range of 0.05 - 0.7 %, which is quite low. We are using a Sera based antibody for our X-ChIP and the protocol for the ChIP is pretty standard.

    As we have experts from the Seq world here, would anyone be willing to cast some light on how I may get optimal libraries or what conditions I can tweak to maximise my library concentration??

    Cheers!

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    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...
