  • Reactivity
    Eukaryotes
    Application
    Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN), Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation (CUT&Tag)
    Purpose
    This set contains Magnetic ConA Beads (Agarose) for CUT&RUN/CUT&Tag Assays, CUT&RUN Positive and Negative Control for the CUT&RUN method for improved genome-wide detection of Protein-DNA-Interactions.
    Characteristics
    CUT&RUN (Cleavage Under Targets And Release Using Nuclease) offers a new approach to pursue epigenetics.
    CUT&RUN overcomes various downfalls of ChIP-Seq with improved workflow.
    CUT&RUN-Sequencing has the advantage of being a simpler technique with lower costs due to the high signal-to-noise ratio, requiring less depth in sequencing.
    CUT&RUN has the potential to replace all ChIP-based applications.

    • Sequencing library preparation
      • Sequencing libraries were prepared using the KAPA HyperPrep Kit (Kapa Biosystems, KR0961) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations with the following modification:
      • For the post-ligation cleanup kit, the SPRI bead to ligation reaction ratio was increased to 1.1 to avoid loss of CUT&RUN products.
      • The PCR conditions were optimized for short products to avoid melting of the small fragments during elongation and favor short PCR products:
      • Initial denaturation: 1 cycle: 45 sec at 98 °C
      • Amplification: 16 cycles: 15 sec at 98 °C, followed by 10 sec at 60 °C
      • Final extension: 1 cycle for 1 min at 72°C
    • Sample quality control
      • Evaluate DNA fragmentation via Bionanalyzer Electrophoresis before and after library preparation.
    Experimental Notes

    MNase digestion was tested for 5 min, 15 min, 45 min, and 1 h. DNA from the 1 h digestion reaction was selected for library preparation because of the higher ratio of mononucleosomal fragments.
