Chrom-seq identifies RNAs at chromatin marks.

ABSTRACT: Chromatin marks are associated with transcriptional regulatory activities. However, very few lncRNAs have been characterized with the role in regulating epigenetic marks, largely due to the technical difficulty in identifying chromatin-associating RNA. Current methods are largely limited by the availability of ChIP-grade antibody and the crosslinking, which generates high noise. Here, we developed a method termed Chrom-seq to efficiently capture RNAs associated with various chromatin marks in living cells. Chrom-seq jointly applies highly specific chromatin mark reader with APEX2, which catalyzes the oxidation of biotin-aniline to label the adjacent RNAs for isolation by streptavidin-coated beads. Using the readers of mCBX7/dPC, mCBX1, and mTAF3, we detected RNA species significantly assoc
