Additional notes
ChIC was first described by the Laemmli group in 2004 (1). The ChIC method involves cleavage of double-stranded DNA (1). The antibody directed pAG-MNAse fusion protein (ab285373) results in 100 – 200 bp resolution mapping of DNA-bound proteins (1, 2). ChIC/CUT&RUN-seq allows chromatin immunoprecipitation to be performed on fewer than 100 cells for histone modifications and ~1000 cells for transcription factors compared to ChIP-seq which generally needs >106 cells (1, 3). Another advantage of ChIC/CUT&RUN-seq over ChIP-seq is an ~10-fold lower sequencing depth (1, 3). Abcam provides an increasing number of ChIC/CUT&RUN-seq validated antibodies to meet the needs of this emerging technique.

ChIC/CUT&RUN was performed using the ChIC/CUT&RUN pAG-MNAse ab285373, 1x105 HeLa cells and 5µg of ab188408 [EPR18253]. The resulting DNA was sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to a depth of 10 million reads. The ChIP data was conducted on chromatin prepared from HeLa cells. Cells were fixed with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes. ChIP was performed with 1x107 HeLa cells and 4 µg of ab188408 [EPR18253]. ChIP DNA was sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to a depth of 30 million reads.
