  • Library preparation for negative control sample?

    Hello,

    I'm wondering if anyone has experience with making libraries with your negative control ChIP sample? I am trying to pull down a particular factor in the wild type cells and also performing the same experiment with cells not expressing that factor to serve as the negative control as the antibody is not that specific, and there is a certain degree of non-specific binding judged from my previous sequencing result.

    Now I'm trying to repeat this experiment and make libraries for both of these two samples again. My question is during the PCR enrichment step, if I PCR amplify my negative sample additional cylces to have enough material for making the library, will that reduece my signal-noise ratio? My concern is that the antibody will pull down something from the genome even in the cells not expressing the factor, and if it's over amplified to a degree that the signal is similar to that from my actual ChIP sampe from the wild type cells, does that mean potentially I will lose some real binding site, as there is amplicon showing up in the negative sample as well...

    I don't know if this is making sense, but if you have any experience or suggestion, that would be highly appreciated..

    Thanks!!
    Korchid

    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...
