Different ChIP-Seq protocols may have a significant impact on the final outcome in terms of quality, number and distribution of called peaks. Sample DNA undergoes a long procedure before the final sequencing step, and damaged DNA can result in excessive mismatches in the alignment with reference genome. In this letter, we present the effect of well-defined modifications (timing of formaldehyde crosslink reversal, brand of the sonicator) of standard ChIP-Seq protocol on parallel samples derived from the same cell line correlating the initial DNA quality control metrics to the final bioinformatics analysis results.

Background: Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are infrequent malignancies that arise from the anterior mediastinum. Therapeutic options for TETs, especially thymic carcinoma (TC), remain relatively constrained. This study aims to investigate the oncogenic hub gene and its underlying mechanisms in TETs, as well as to identify potential therapeutic targets.

Various proteins interact with specific genome regions, playing crucial roles in gene regulation. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is the most commonly used method to study protein-DNA interactions in vivo. By combining ChIP with high-throughput sequencing, ChIP-seq allows for studying the genome-wide localization of proteins.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) is widely used to probe the chromatin landscape of transcription factors, chromatin components, and associated proteins. Conventional ChIP normalization procedures robustly allow estimating differences in local enrichment across genomic regions. Yet, inter-sample comparisons can be biased by technical variability and biological differences.

Background: Polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) have properties of cancer stem cells (CSCs). PGCCs with daughter cells (PDCs) undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition and show enhanced cellular plasticity. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the osteo/chondrogenic-like differentiation of PDCs, which may be exploited therapeutically by transdifferentiation into post-mitotic and functional cells.

Chromatin regulation provides a mechanism through which cells dynamically and rapidly regulate their gene expression profiles, playing a pivotal role in diverse biological processes and disease states. The Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) is a method that enables genome-wide detection of accessible chromatin regions, providing information on nucleosome positioning and the epigenetic regulation of the chromatin structure. ATAC-seq has been used in various biological contexts, and several reports have demonstrated its application to studying infections with viral or bacterial pathogens.
