Series GSE4886 Query DataSets for GSE4886
Status Public on Sep 01, 2006
Title FAIRE performed in human foreskin fibroblast cells
Project Pilot ENCODE
Organism Homo sapiens
Experiment type Genome binding/occupancy profiling by genome tiling array
Summary To perform FAIRE, chromatin is crosslinked with formaldehyde in vivo, sheared by sonication, and phenol-chloroform extracted. The DNA recovered in the aqueous phase is fluorescently labeled and hybridized to a DNA microarray. FAIRE performed in human cells strongly enriches DNA coincident with the location of DNaseI hypersensitive sites, transcriptional start sites, and active promoters.
Keywords: Genome wide map of active chromatin
 
Overall design Human foreskin fibroblast (ATCC CRL 2091) cells were cultured in 245 x 245 cm plates (90% confluent). Formaldehyde was added directly to the plates at room temperature to a final concentration of 1%; and incubated for 1, 2, 4, or 7 minutes. Cells were glass bead disrupted and sheared using sonication, yielding fragments of DNA 0.5 to 1 kb. Proteins and DNA fragments crosslinked to proteins were removed using a phenol/chloroform extraction.
