ChIRP-Seq

ChIRP-Seq

Chromatin isolation by RNA purification (ChIRP-Seq) is a protocol that detects the locations on the genome where non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and their proteins are bound . In this method, samples are first crosslinked and sonicated. Biotinylated tiling oligos are hybridized to the RNAs of interest, and the complexes are captured with streptavidin magnetic beads. After treatment with RNase H the DNA is extracted and sequenced. With deep sequencing the lncRNA/protein interaction site can be determined at single-base resolution.
