Genome-wide profiling of interactions between genome and various functional proteins is critical for understanding regulatory processes involved in development and diseases. Conventional assays require a large number of cells and high-quality data on tissue samples are scarce. Here we optimized a low-input chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) technology for profiling RNA polymerase II (Pol II), transcription factor (TF), and enzyme binding at the genome scale.

Non-resolving inflammatory monocytes/macrophages are critically involved in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases. However, mechanisms of macrophage polarization are not well understood, thus hindering the development of effective strategies to promote inflammation resolution. In this study, we report that macrophages polarized by subclinical super-low dose LPS preferentially expressed pro-inflammatory mediators such as (which encodes the protein monocyte chemo attractant protein-1) with reduced expression of anti-inflammatory/homeostatic mediators such as (which encodes the protein ferroportin-1).

Microfluidic devices provide a low-input and efficient platform for single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq). Existing microfluidic devices have a complicated multi-chambered structure for handling the multi-step process involved in RNA-seq and dilution between steps is used to negate the inhibitory effects among reagents. This makes the device difficult to fabricate and operate.
