    yeast chip seq - completely new to our lab!

    hi everyone, i will be attempting the first ever chip seq in our lab soon and i just have a bunch of questions that i can't find answers on and hoping someone with more experience could chime in.
    this will be for yeast.
    1. i've got my hands on a protocol that has me grow yeast in 50 ml to OD 0.7, then crosslink/formaldehyde and quench with glycine, per chip sample. does this seem about right?
    2. for each pellet i collect from above, i actually want to chip with 2 different antibodies, so they'll be split in half. am i better of growing more cells or will that be enough DNA?
    3. how can i ultimately test my 'efficiency'? or in other words, whether my chip worked? i know that after shearing, usually 1% is saved as an input. (and this is the step after which i plan on separating my 1 sample into 2 equal samples) then antibody is added to to pull down cross linked dna. after uncrosslinking and purification, can i just use qubit on the 1% and on the final purified stuff to see what my yield is like?
    what is a typical yield in both ng and % of the input?
    thanks a ton! i plan on using either miseq or hiseq with illumina.

    If you are using antibodies used before in other publications, I would recommend you to read these articles. The same applies to specific protein you are trying to pull down. Amount of DNA you will pull down will vary a lot. For example, if you pull down one of the core histones, you will have no problem getting enough material to work on. If you are working a protein like Histone H1 (linker histone) in budding yeast, it will be more challenging since its abundance is much lower, so you will need more starting material. I hope this helps. There are tons of research and methods papers with yeast chip experiments.

      just thought i'd give an update.
      i did the chip and got about 1.5 ng dna out. my 1% input was quantified at 50 ng. (something like 0.002% of total)
      overall i'm pretty happy. this represents about 5% of the theoretical maximum i could obtain based on existing knowledge of binding site and their relative abundance with respect to the whole genome.

      i will end repair, a tail, ligate adapter, pipin size select and report back

        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
