Analysis of in vivo occupancy of Aebp1, a transcription factor, using high resolution tiling array

Methods Mol Biol. 2013:1067:165-83. doi: 10.1007/978-1-62703-607-8_11.

Abstract

Aebp1 is a transcription factor that negatively regulates adipogenesis and also is upregulated in primary GBM as against secondary GBM. Here we describe a systematic approach to map the in vivo occupancy sites of Aebp1 by using a combination of chromatin immune-precipitation technique and hybridization to Agilent high resolution human promoter tiling array (2×224) containing 474393 probes. We also describe the use of various bioinformatics tools for analysis of the hybridization data and identification of Aebp1 occupancy sites in U87MG glioma cell line.
