Almost all the Life Sciences Scientific community can expect seeing an extraordinary surge of information related to roles of  epigenetic events in their respective research.
 

 There is a more and more obvious coordinated interplay between histone modifications and histone variants, DNA methylation,  RNA components, ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling, and histone-specific assembly factors that regulates gene expression.
 

 There are tremendous opportunities offered by the use of immuno-techniques like immunoprecipitation assays
 (especially in combination with DNA micro arrays and High Throughput sequencing technologies).

 

 Our Shearing methods provide you with easy and highly reproducible chromatin shearing protocols which are:

 

  • The first key for a successful ChIP

  • Fast, optimized and user-friendly standardised for better reproducibility and as a consequence, data analysis is made easier

 

 With our ChIP Sonication Control kit¢â : monitor the sonication efficiency looking at the quality of the sheared chromatin.

 (cat. #: kch-sonctl-001)

 

 With our Shearing-ChIP kit¢â : prepare large amounts of sheared chromatin ready-to-ChIP. (cat. #: kch-shchro-40)

 

 With our Shearing module : prepare sheared chromatin ready-to-ChIP, then ChIP with our kits: either the Red ChIP
 traditional  protocol or the OneDay rapid method. (cat. #: kch-redmod-100).

 

 Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). ChIP assay offers a huge potential to boost knowledge about the regulation of the
 genome  expression. Used in a large number of life science disciplines and addressing several essential questions like cellular
 differentiation, tumour suppressor gene silencing,¡¦

 

 ChIP, ChIP-on-chip* and ChIP Seq* are used to investigate interactions between proteins and DNA in vivo. It allows

 the identification of binding sites of DNA-binding proteins in a very efficient and scalable way for proteins generally operating in

 the context of chromatin like transcription factors, replication-related proteins, histones, their variants, and histone modifications.

 

  * ChIP-on-chip and ChIP-Seq can localize protein binding sites which may help in identifying functional elements in the

  genome (whole-genome or specific genomic regions).

 

 All our products have been extensively validated in ChIP on various targets. The combination of all our

 Quality Controlled kits,  reagents and equipment is the perfect starting point to your success.

 During DNA replication, methylation is one of the post-synthesis modifications. It has been proven to be manifested in a
 number of biological processes such as regulation of imprinted genes, X chromosome inactivation, tumour suppressor gene
 silencing in cancerous cells and also acts as a protection mechanism adopted by pathogen DNA. Methylation usually occurs
 in the CpG islands, a CG rich region, upstream of the promoter region.

 

 Diagenode proposes two complementary methods for the study of DNA methylation patterns: Methylated DNA
 Immunoprecipitation and Bisulfite conversion.

 

 MeDIP kit¢â :  The Novel Diagenode Methyl kit is designed to immunoprecipitate methylated DNA (Methyl DNA IP).

 

 This brand new Methyl DNA IP method provides you with methylated DNA (meDNA) and unmethylated DNA (unDNA) controls
 to be used together with your DNA sample allowing direct correlation between IP¡¯d material and methylation status.

 This methylation analysis is highly specific and each IP is quality controlled: essential keys for reliable results.

 

 The kit is:

 

   • Specific and quantitative (several internal controls)

   • Robust and simple (all in one tube)

   • Fast  (less than 3 days)

   • User-friendly (comprehensive manual and quick start)

 

 In addition, the MeDIP kit¢â is validated for sample preparation prior to MeDIP-on-chip and MeDIP-seq assays.

 

 One format: 10 IPs per kit.
