Single-cell chromatin immunocleavage sequencing (scChIC-seq) to profile histone modification.

ABSTRACT: Our method for analyzing histone modifications, scChIC-seq (single-cell chromatin immunocleavage sequencing), involves targeting of the micrococcal nuclease (MNase) to a histone mark of choice by tethering to a specific antibody. Cleaved target sites are then selectively PCR amplified. We show that scChIC-seq reliably detects H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 target sites in single human white blood cells. The resulting data are used for clustering of blood cell types.
