Antigen

Cell type Class: Gonad
Cell type: Spermatogonia
MeSH Description: Euploid male germ cells of an early stage of SPERMATOGENESIS, derived from prespermatogonia. With the onset of puberty, spermatogonia at the basement membrane of the seminiferous tubule proliferate by mitotic then meiotic divisions and give rise to the haploid SPERMATOCYTES.

library_strategy: ChIP-Seq
library_source: GENOMIC
library_selection: ChIP
library_construction_protocol: FACS-sorted cells were pelleted and re-suspended in nuclear isolation buffer (Sigma #NUC101-1KT). Depending on input size, chromatin was fragmented for 5-7.5 min using MNase at 21°C or 37°C IPed DNA were end-repaired in 1x T4 DNA ligase buffer, 0.4 mM dNTP mix, 2.25U T4 DNA polymerase, 0.75U Klenow DNA polymerase and 7.5U T4 polynucleotide kinase for 30 min at 21-25°C, then A-tailed in 1x NEB buffer 2, 0.4 mM dNTPs and 3.75U of Klenow(exo-) for 30 min at 37°C and then ligated in 1x rapid DNA ligation buffer plus 1mM Illumina PE adapters and 1,600U DNA ligase for 1-8h at 21-25°C. Ligated fragments were amplified using dual-indexed primers for Illumina (NEB #E7600S) for 8-10 PCR cycles. DNA was purified with 1.8x volume Ampure XP DNA purification beads (Beckman Coulter #A63881) between each step. Fragment length was again checked by Bioanalyzer (Aglient Technology), and DNA concentration was determined using the Qubit dsDNA HS Assay Kit (Invitrogen #Q32854).
