Diagenode iDeal ChIP-seq kit for Transcription Factors / Histones Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments were carried out using the Ideal ChIP-seq Kit for Transcription Factors or Histones (Diagenode) as per the manufacturer's protocol. Chromatin from 2 × 106 cells (for transcription factors) and 1x106 cells (for histones) was used for each ChIP reaction with 4 or 2  μg of the target protein antibody respectively. In brief, cells were trypsinized and washed twice with 1× PBS, followed by cross-linking for 8 min in 1% formaldehyde solution. Crosslinking was terminated by the addition of 1/10 volume 1.25 M glycine for 5 min at room temperature followed by cell lysis and sonication (Bioruptor, Diagenode), resulting in an average chromatin fragment size of 200 bp. Fragmented chromatin was then used for immunoprecipitation using various antibodies, with overnight incubation at 4 °C. ChIP DNA was de-crosslinked and purified using the iPure Kit V2 (Diagenode) using the standard protocol. Purified DNA was then prepared for sequencing as per the manufacturer's instructions (Illumina). ChIP samples (1–10 ng) were converted to blunt-ended fragments using T4 DNA polymerase, Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I large fragment (Klenow polymerase), and T4 polynucleotide kinase (New England BioLabs (NEB)). A single adenine base was added to fragment ends by Klenow fragment (3′ to 5′ exo minus; NEB), followed by ligation of Illumina adaptors (Quick ligase, NEB). The adaptor-ligated DNA fragments were enriched by PCR using the Illumina Barcode primers and Phusion DNA polymerase (NEB). PCR products were size-selected using 3% NuSieve agarose gels (Lonza) followed by gel extraction using QIAEX II reagents (Qiagen). Libraries were quantified and quality checked using the Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent) and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 Sequencer (125-nucleotide read length).
