Genome-wide maps of TBX1 state in transfected BCPAP cells

Genome wide identification of TBX1 sites of occupancy in thyroid cancer cell line BCPAP cells by comparing control BCPAP cells transfected with pcDNA3.1-Vector (cotains Myc tag) with cells transfected with pcDNA3.1-TBX1 (contains Myc tag). By obtaining over 30 Million bases of sequence from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated genome-wide chromatin-state maps of TBX1 transfected. We find that transcription factor TBX1 exerts tumor suppressive properties through regulating multiple downstream targets involved in PI3K/Akt and MAPK/Erk signaling pathways. Overall design: Examination global levels of TBX1 in the 2 transfected cells.
