ChIP - shearing with the Covaris S2

01-01-2012, 09:17 AM

I've been doing some optimization work with ChIP and the Covaris S2. I figure some people would probably be interested. All in all it appears to be a great instrument. Fragmentation of the chromatin is really even without bias towards open chromatin which is important for ChIP-seq. My only complaint is that it only takes one sample at a time, so if you have a lot of samples to process it can take a good amount of time. But the reproducibility is worth the extra time.

Anyway, it's too much to post here but it's on my blog at:

Like just about everything my Covaris ChIP protocol seems to work much better for some epitopes than others. My guess is that this primarily has to do with the degree of crosslinking. So I decided …

X-linking, Shearing and ChIP with the Covaris S2

http://ethanomics.wordpress.com/2011/12/28/202/

I decided to look at how crosslinking conditions affect ChIP for a histone variant I am working on. I used three crosslinking conditions and shearing times which would shear the chromatin well. Eac…

The links seem to be fine. Are you still having this problem? Send me a PM if you like.

Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t

by SEQadmin2

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...

New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits

by SEQadmin2

Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
