FAIRE概述
FAIRE技術詳情

Figure FAIRE Procedure (A) The FAIRE procedure described in the text is shown on the left, while preparation of the reference or input sample is shown on the right. The DNA recovered from he aqueous phase of each extraction can then be used to identify sites of open chromatin using qPCR, tiling microarrays, or high-throughput sequencing applications. (B) For qPCR, a series of primers, depicted as convergent arrows, are designed to span a genomic region of interest. Sites of open chromatin are highlighted in blue, with qPCR results depicted above. Amplicons that span or are near the boundaries of open chromatin often result in lower relative enrichment due to shearing of DNA fragments, as shown by asterisks. (C) Microarrays. Typically we use highresolution microarrays that tile either regions of interest or the entire genome of an organism with 50 to 70 bp oligonucleotides. (D) High-throughput sequencing technologies can be used to map the DNA fragments back to the reference genome.【Giresi P G, Lieb J D.

近年來,FAIRE?與高通量技術結合產生的?FAIRE-Seq?技術,得到了廣泛應用.將ChIP-Seq,DNase-Seq和FAIRE-Seq三種實驗技術聯用,可用于揭示轉錄因子結合位點、核小體分布位置、染色質開放區(qū)域,以及三者之間的關系。三種實驗技術的原理如圖1.4所示.
Comparison of experimental protocols.Experiments to detect different aspects of DNA-binding proteins share many of the same steps; simplified schematics of the main steps are shown. a | Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP–seq) for DNA-binding proteins such as transcription factors. Recent variations on the standard protocol include using endonuclease digestion instead of sonication (ChIP–exo) to increase the resolution of binding-site detection and to eliminate contaminating DNA, and DNA amplification after ChIP for samples with limited cells. b | ChIP–seq for histone modifications uses micrococcal nuclease (MNase) digestion to fragment DNA and can also now be run on low-quantity samples when combined with the additional post-ChIP amplification. c | DNase–seq relies on digestion by the DNaseI nuclease to identify regions of nucleosome-depleted open chromatin where there are binding sites for all types of factors, but it cannot identify what specific factors are bound. d | Formaldehyde-assisted identification of regulatory elements (FAIRE–seq) similarly identifies nucleosome-depleted regions by extracting fragmented DNA that is not crosslinked to nucleosomes. LinDA, single-tube linear DNA amplification; T7, T7 phage RNA polymerase.【Furey, Terrence S .

(1)按生產商說明,制備測序文庫。這里我們推薦100~200?ng的?FAIRE?DNA樣品.首先使用?Agencourt?AMPure?XP?beads?試劑盒進行兩輪純化與回收,然后進行18個循環(huán)的PCR擴增,篩選200-~500bp的DNA建立最終文庫。另外,也可以用TruSeq?kit(Illumina)試劑盒來制備測序文庫。關鍵步驟:保證至少3×10’讀段(reads),才可以確保測序深度和廣度
(2)運用諸如TagDust(的算法,通過適配器過濾去除測序序列,清洗文庫.我們設定錯誤發(fā)現率為0.001,關鍵步驟:在清洗文庫步驟中,估計會過濾掉大概0.1~0.2%的讀段.如果過濾部分高達10%,則說明文庫的質量不達標.
(3)使用FASTX-Toolkit?算法(http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_toolkit/) 來評估文庫質量,比如說置信值(confidence?score)),核苷酸分布(nucleotide?distribution).關鍵步驟:相對均一的堿基分布非常重要,在每個讀段中都保證有四種核苷酸。核苷酸的誤用,特殊序列的重復出現和序列質量的不穩(wěn)定性,都有可能導致測序文庫更為復雜以及測序錯誤增加。
(4)使用諸如Bowtie6這樣的算法,將高質量的讀段映射(mapping)到參考基因組上。大都采取默認參數,可允許的比對數量的最大值限定為4.當有多種比對(alignment)結果存在時,Bowtie算法必定會選擇得分最高的比對結果。對于大部分的基因組和實驗來說,大約有75~85%的測序讀設可以被成功比對.
(5)數據可視化以及尋找發(fā)觀相對于背景有明顯富集的檢測區(qū)域(使用ZINB算法(60).
(6)使用IDR算法(6?來評估交聯-折疊相關系數I45].
