MeSH Description
Mammalian pigment cells that produce MELANINS, pigments found mainly in the EPIDERMIS, but also in the eyes and the hair, by a process called melanogenesis. Coloration can be altered by the number of melanocytes or the amount of pigment produced and stored in the organelles called MELANOSOMES. The large non-mammalian melanin-containing cells are called MELANOPHORES.

library_construction_protocol
20-50 million cells were used. Cells were trypsinized, washed, and cross-linked as described previously(Sen et al. 2008). Lysis with a modified RIPA buffer (1% NP40/Igepal, 0.5% Sodium Deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 100uM EDTA in PBS), nuclei were isolated and DNA was sonicated to ~150bp and overnight pulldown was performed with an antibody to MITF (Sigma HPA003259) ChIP-sequencing libraries were prepared with a modified version of NEBNext ChIP-seq library prep kit (NEB) using Ampure beads (Agencourt) for purification. Barcodes were introduced and these libraries were sequenced with 1x50bp reads on the Illumina HiSeq platform.
