Worm_embryo_extraction_vSS2. Embryos were resuspended in FA buffer (50 mM HEPES/KOH pH 7.5, 1mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% sodium deoxycholate; 150 mM NaCl) + protease inhibitors. Sample was dounced 30 times using tight pestle at 4ºC, then sonicated 9 times on ice at the following settings: 30 sec; power output 3; 70% duty cycle. Cell debris was removed by centrifuging at 13,000 rpm for 15 minutes at 4ºC and taking the supernatant. Supernatants were filtered through Millipore Ultrafree-MC 0.45 ?m filter units (cat. UFC30HV0S) at 13,000 rpm, 4°C for 1 minute to remove lipids. Protein concentration was determined, and extracts were aliquoted and stored at -80ºC. For a detailed protocol see http://www.modencode.org/. Worm_chromatin_immunoprecipitation_vIL2. Appropriate amount of extract is incubated overnight with a proper amount of antibody (exceptional antibodies due to better results are incubated 2hrs). Afterwards, 40ul of equilibrated magnetic beads (either protein A or G, depending on antibody) are added and incubated for 2 hrs. Later, washes with FA, 500mM-salt FA, 1M salt FA, TEL, and TE buffer are performed and DNA is eluted in elution buffer (1% SDS in TE with 250 mM NaCl) ? two times with 57 ?l volume each, at 65°C. Samples are treated with RNAse, proteinase K and then crosslinks are reversed overnight at 65°C. DNA is purified on Qiagen PCR purification columns, tested by q-PCR for ChIP quality, and stored at -20°C for future applications. ChIP or input DNA is blunt ended, A-tailed, ligated to adaptors, amplified by PCR, then size selected using AMPure beads.  The protocol uses the Illuimina TruSeq DNA Sample Prep Kit. Prepared sample are sequenced using Illumina GAII or HiSeq2000 at the High Throughput Sequencing Facility of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill or Cambridge.
