Abstract

Sequence Tag Analysis of Genomic Enrichment (STAGE) is a method for experimentally identifying the in vivo chromosomal targets of DNA?binding proteins in any sequenced genome. STAGE generates 21?bp tags derived from DNA isolated by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP; UNIT 21.3 ). Concatamers of tags are cloned and sequenced to yield a STAGE library. Tags in the library represent DNA fragments that were occupied by the DNA?binding protein, and mapping these tag sequences to the genome identifies the binding loci of the DNA?binding protein in vivo. STAGE can be applied to any sequenced genome to identify targets of DNA?binding proteins without requiring extensive microarray resources.
