Problems solved by technology

Its disadvantages mainly include the following points: ① When it is necessary to obtain a relatively small fragment (generally when the fragment is less than 200bp), the ultrasonic time and ultrasonic power need to be increased, which will greatly increase the probability of protein denaturation and affect the subsequent antibody and protein. specific binding
②Although the size of DNA fragments obtained by ultrasound is relatively concentrated in a certain position, its size dispersion range is too wide. The DNA in the library has a wide dispersion, while the size range of DNA used in library construction is relatively narrow. This will not only cause the above-mentioned waste of samples, but may also lead to a preference for DNA selection in library construction, affecting the final sequencing results.
If micrococcal nuclease is only used as a fragmentation method, the main disadvantages are as follows: ① Micrococcal nuclease has a certain degree of sequence specificity when cutting DNA, so there may be sequence preference problems when fragmenting chromatin
②The amount of enzyme is difficult to control, and it is prone to uneven digestion, that is, chromatin fragments of different sizes will be produced. When cutting a single nucleosome, the size is about 150bp, and when two nucleosomes are cut, the size is about 300bp. Therefore, when using only enzyme When used as a chromatin fragmentation method, it is easy to have this phenomenon of mixed fragments of different sizes
[0006] Although the methods currently used can barely meet the basic requirements of library construction, they all have problems such as large sample volume, high cost, long time consumption, and fragmented sequence preference. Therefore, a fast and convenient method suitable for laboratory researchers is needed. chromatin fragmentation method

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a chromatin fragmentation method and its application Background technique [0002] Chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP) can truly and completely reflect the regulatory information of the target protein bound to the DNA sequence. Its basic principle is to fix all the DNA in the cell by cross-linking with formaldehyde at a specific time point Binding to the activity of the protein, through the subsequent lysing of cells, separation of chromosomes, random cutting of chromatin by ultrasound, etc., using the specific recognition reaction of antigens and antibodies to precipitate the DNA fragments that bind to the target protein, and then release them by decrosslinking DNA fragments of bound proteins, purified for downstream analysis. ChIP-Seq is a deep sequencing technology that combines high-throughput sequencing technology with ChIP experiments to analyze DNA binding protein sites, DNA...
