Maps of histone variant H4.V deposition in Trypanosoma brucei brucei

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of genomic loci in Trypanosoma brucei where histone variant H4.V is deposited. A previously generated cell line (Siegel et al., 2009) in which both endogenous H4.V alleles are knockout out and ectopic overexpression of a Ty1-tagged version of H4.V can be induced was used. During the ChIP experiment, the DNA was digested with MNase to obtain mononucleosomes. Nucleosomes containing H4.V were pulled down by using a BB2 anti-Ty1 antibody. Cross links are reversed and mononucleosomal DNA is purified and prepared for Illumina sequencing. Mnase ChIPs were done in duplicates, input control samples were included for each ChIP sample.
