Mapping the differential distribution of the cohesin subunit Scc1 in Trypanosoma brucei brucei.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of genomic loci in Trypanosoma brucei where Scc1 is deposited. This was achieved by deletion of one Scc1 allele and N-terminal tagging of the second Scc1 allele with a Ty1-tag. During the ChIP experiment, the DNA was crosslinked and cells were permeabilized with digitonin. DNA was fragmented by sonication with a Covaris instrument. DNA bound to Ty1-Scc1 was pulled down by using a BB2 anti-Ty1 antibody. Cross links are reversed and the DNA was purified and prepared for Illumina sequencing. Overall design: Experiment was done in triplicates, each with an input control. As a control, an input sample was included for each ChIP experiment.
