Genome-wide chromatin binding analysis (ChIP-seq) of HA epitope tagged RFX6 protein in human embryonic stem cell derived pancreatic progenitors. Genome-wide chromatin binding analysis (ChIP-seq) of HA epitope tagged RFX6 protein in human embryonic stem cell derived pancreatic progenitors

To identify direct transcriptional targets of RFX6, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation of HA epitope tagged RFX6 followed by massively parallel DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq). Using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, the HA epitope was inserted into the 3' end of the RFX6 gene in H9 hESC. Pluripotent cells were then differentiated into PDX1+RFX6+ pancreatic progenitors and endogenous RFX6-HA was immunoprecipitated with an anti-HA antibody. To eliminate background signal caused by non-specific antibody binding, a control experiment using wild-type H9 hESC was performed in parallel.
