Chromatin was prepared from HeLa cells. Cells were fixed with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes. ChIP was performed with 107 HeLa cells and 4 µg of ab40888 [EP959Y]. ChIP DNA was sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to a depth of 30 million reads.

Chromatin was prepared from HeLa cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol*. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10min.
The ChIP was performed with 25 µg of chromatin, 5 µg of ab40888 (red), and 20 µl of Protein A/G sepharose beads. 5 μg of rabbit normal IgG was added to the beads control (gray). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach for active and inactive loci, Sybr green approach for heterochromatic loci).
Primers and probes are located in the first kb of the transcribed region. -
