Identification of transcription factor CEH-14 binding sites in C.elegans

ABSTRACT: We, being members of modENCODE consortium, have established an experimetal pipeline in C.elegans that allows global identification of the binding sites for transcription factors using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by illumina high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq). In current study, we identified the binding sites for CEH-14 at L2 stage, which is required for specification of the AFD thermosensory neurons and for normal thermotactic behavior. For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf CEH-14 was tagged with a dual GFP:3xFLAG tag at the carboxy terminus, whose expression pattern was confirmed through both fluorescence imaging and immunoblot analysis. The binding sites were determined using ChIP-seq. Two biological replicates were used in this study, but replicate1 is at a later L2 stage. Only one Input sample (non-immunoprecipitated chromatin (input) from replicate2 was used as a control. The concordance between two replicates is just above 50% when p-value is 0.05.
