Epigenetic programs play a key role in regulating the development and function of immune cells. However, conventional methods for profiling epigenetic mechanisms, such as the post-translational modifications to histones, present several technical challenges that prevent a complete understanding of gene regulation. Here, we provide a detailed protocol of the Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation (CUT&Tag) chromatin profiling technique for identifying histone modifications in human and mouse lymphocytes.
表观遗传程序在调节免疫细胞的发育和功能方面发挥着关键作用。然而,传统的表观遗传机制分析方法,如组蛋白的翻译后修饰,存在一些技术挑战,阻碍了对基因调控的全面理解。在这里,我们提供了一种详细的靶向切割和标签(CUT&Tag)染色质分析技术的方案,用于鉴定人类和小鼠淋巴细胞中的组蛋白修饰。
