  • Enrichement and Picogreen concentrations?

    Hello,
    I am trying to do a ChIP for ChIP-Seq for a transcription factor (TF) that has no known binding site so far. I therefore can't check my enrichment by qPCR, and the only ways to QC my ChIP are western-blot and Picogreen qtification.
    My western looks ok, but my Picogreen assays show not difference of DNA concentration between the control and my TF sample. Is it normal or should I see a difference. Is it a bad sign for the future ChIP-Seq experiment (too much background)?
    I don't know what the fraction of my specifically enriched DNA should be: 1 or 50% of the amount of background DNA.
    Anyone can help?
    Thanks a lot!

    Our picogreen concentrations of our ChIP and our Normal Rabbit IgG control can have very similar concentrations after sample prep. In our experience, the only way to know if a specific antibody worked (even if checked on western and pcr) is to sequence it and look at the differences. At that point the bad sign is if the peaks are at the same place when mapped to the genome.

      Recent Developments in Metagenomics
      by seqadmin





      Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...

      Understanding Genetic Influence on Infectious Disease
      by seqadmin




      During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.

      Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...
