Genome-wide profiling of DNA G-quadruplexes in living neurons

We report a genome-wide mapping of DNA G-quadruplexes and histone modifications in living neurons. We used primary cultured neurons from the fetus mouse cortex. Cultured cells were treated with 2 µM Ara-C at DIV3 to prevent the proliferation of mitotic cells and were harvested at DIV10. For iG4 CUT&Tag, a BG4-expressing plasmid was transfected by electroporation at DIV0. Overall design: Examination of G4DNAs and four different histone modifications in post-mitotic neurons.
