Description

Sonication series for ChIP-seq
This composite track displays ChIP-seq data from a systematic evaluation of sonication conditions for chromatin immunoprecipitation in G1E-ER4 cells treated with estradiol. The experiment tested the effect of varying the number of sonication cycles (3, 4, 5, 7, 10, and 15 cycles) and the number of input cells (1 million, 5 million, 20 million, and 50 million) on ChIP-seq signal quality and peak calling for the transcription factors TAL1 and CTCF.

These data allow assessment of how sonication parameters affect the reproducibility and sensitivity of ChIP-seq experiments in hematopoietic cells, and can guide optimization of ChIP-seq protocols.

Display Conventions and Configuration

This composite track contains two views:

Signal
The ChIP-seq signal tracks displayed as continuous variables along the chromosomes.
Peaks
The called peaks representing transcription factor binding sites under each sonication condition.

Tracks can be filtered by antibody (TAL1 or CTCF). The track names include the VISION sample id, the antibody target, cell type, number of sonication cycles, and number of input cells.

Methods

ChIP-seq was performed on G1E-ER4 cells treated with estradiol to activate GATA1-ER, using antibodies against TAL1 and CTCF. Chromatin was sonicated with varying numbers of cycles and varying amounts of input cells. Libraries were sequenced, mapped, and processed to generate signal and peak tracks.
