AbstractThis unit describes Assay for Transposase‐Accessible Chromatin with
high‐throughput sequencing (ATAC‐seq), a method for mapping chromatin
accessibility genome‐wide. This method probes DNA accessibility with hyperactive
Tn5 transposase, which inserts sequencing adapters into accessible regions of
chromatin. Sequencing reads can then be used to infer regions of increased
accessibility, as we... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractHigh‐throughput data production has revolutionized molecular biology.
However, massive increases in data generation capacity require analysis
approaches that are more sophisticated, and often very computationally
intensive. Thus, making sense of high‐throughput data requires informatics
support. Galaxy (http://galaxyproject.org) is a software system that provides
this support through a fra... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractGas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS)–based metabolomics is ideal
for identifying and quantitating small‐molecule metabolites (<650 Da), including
small acids, alcohols, hydroxyl acids, amino acids, sugars, fatty acids,
sterols, catecholamines, drugs, and toxins, often using chemical derivatization
to make these compounds sufficiently volatile for gas chromatography. This unit
shows... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractThe most commonly used yeast transformation protocol is the lithium
acetate procedure (described here). It is reasonably fast and provides a
transformation efficiency of 105 to 106 transformants/μg. This efficiency rivals
that achieved for most, but not all, strains with the more difficult and
time‐consuming spheroplast procedure presented here. However, the fastest and
easiest of the tran... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractThe bacterial chromosome and plasmids can be engineered in vivo by
homologous recombination using PCR products and synthetic oligonucleotides as
substrates. This is possible because bacteriophage‐encoded recombination
functions efficiently to recombine sequences with homologies as short as 35 to
40 bases. This recombineering allows DNA sequences to be inserted or deleted
without regard to ... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractOccupied Regions of Genomes from Affinity‐purified Naturally Isolated
Chromatin (ORGANIC) is a high‐resolution method that can be used to
quantitatively map protein‐DNA interactions with high specificity and
sensitivity. This method uses micrococcal nuclease (MNase) digestion of
chromatin and low‐salt solubilization to preserve protein‐DNA complexes,
followed by immunoprecipitation and pai... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractThe latent HIV reservoir is the main barrier to curing AIDS, because
infected cells escape the immune system and antiretroviral therapies. Developing
new treatment strategies requires technologies to trace latent proviruses. Here,
we describe a genome‐wide technique called Barcoded HIV Ensembles (B‐HIVE) to
measure HIV expression at the single provirus level. The principle of B‐HIVE is
to ... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractThe first step in obtaining a compositional analysis of a glycoconjugate
is the release of the individual monosaccharide constituents. Mild acid
hydrolysis to release fucosyl residues from glycoconjugates is described in this
unit, in addition to mild acid hydrolysis to release sialic acids from
glycoconjugates, along with dialysis and column chromatography procedures to
purify the sialic ... hiện toàn bộ
