title: H3K4Me3 ChIP-seq for 293T
design: For ChIP-seq of H3K4me3, first, crosslink cells by treating them with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes at room temperature to fix protein-DNA interactions, then quench the reaction by adding glycine to a final concentration of 0.125 M and incubating for an additional 5 minutes. Next, wash the cells with cold PBS and lyse them using a buffer containing NP-40 or Triton X-100 to release the nuclei; proceed with sonication of the isolated chromatin to shear DNA into fragments of 200-1000 base pairs. After confirming the fragment size through agarose gel electrophoresis, perform immunoprecipitation with an antibody specific to H3K4me3 in a suitable buffer, typically overnight at 4C on a rotating platform. The next day, isolate the immunocomplexes using protein A/G magnetic beads, wash them rigorously to remove non-specific bindings, and reverse the crosslinks by incubating the samples at 65C overnight. Purify the DNA using phenol-chloroform extraction or a purification kit, and validate the enrichment of target sequences via qPCR. Finally, construct sequencing libraries from the purified DNA following the manufacturer's protocol, and sequence the libraries using a next-generation sequencing platform such as Illumina. Analyze the resulting data with bioinformatics tools to identify H3K4me3-enriched regions across the genome.
