Abstract
Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) has emerged as a chromatin profiling strategy that excels traditional methods. Although CUT&RUN has been widely utilized in mammalian cells, its use in the zebrafish is at its early stages. In this study, we have developed a protocol to successfully perform CUT&RUN to map transcription factor (TF) binding sites in embryonic, adult tissues, and FACS-sorted zebrafish cells. We also provide a detailed workflow for the identification of predicted TF binding sites that can be utilized in any animal species. Altogether, our strategy will expand this invaluable tool to the zebrafish community, improving the epigenetic resolution that can be achieved in this model organism.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
