Abstract [en]

ChIP–seq is a widely used technique for studying histone post-translational modifications and DNA-binding proteins. DNA fragments associated with a specific protein or histone modification epitope are captured by using antibodies, sequenced and mapped to a reference genome. Albeit versatile and popular, performing many parallel ChIP–seq experiments to compare different conditions, replicates and epitopes is laborious, is prone to experimental variation and does not allow quantitative comparisons unless adequate spike-in chromatin is included. We present a detailed protocol for performing and analyzing a multiplexed quantitative chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing experiment (MINUTE-ChIP), in which multiple samples are profiled against multiple epitopes in a single workflow. Multiplexing not only dramatically increases the throughput of ChIP–seq experiments (e.g., profiling 12 samples against multiple histone modifications or DNA-binding proteins in a single experiment), but also enables accurate quantitative comparisons. The protocol consists of four parts: sample preparation (i.e., lysis, chromatin fragmentation and barcoding of native or formaldehyde-fixed material), pooling and splitting of the barcoded chromatin into parallel immunoprecipitation reactions, preparation of next-generation sequencing libraries from input and immunoprecipitated DNA and data analysis using our dedicated analysis pipeline. This pipeline autonomously generates quantitatively scaled ChIP–seq tracks for downstream analysis and visualization, alongside necessary quality control indicators. The entire workflow requires basic knowledge in molecular biology and bioinformatics and can be completed in 1 week. MINUTE-ChIP empowers biologists to perform every ChIP–seq experiment with an appropriate number of replicates and control conditions, delivering more statistically robust, exquisitely quantitative and biologically meaningful results.
