Mapping Nucleosome Location Using FS-Seq

Methods Mol Biol. 2023:2611:21-38. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-2899-7_2.

Abstract

The organization of nucleosomes in eukaryotic chromatin is thought to play a critical role in the regulation of the biological function of the chromatin. Because of this potential role in regulation, a number of techniques have been developed, which combine chromatin fragmentation around nucleosomes with next-generation sequencing to map the location of nucleosomes in chromatin. In this section, a procedure using a kit from New England Biolabs (NEB NEXT Ultra II FS DNA library prep Kit) to fragment chromatin in preparation for next-generation sequencing is described and compared to other available procedures for mapping nucleosome location.
