Guide: Quick Tips for ChIP BeginnersJuly 17, 2012 At Abcam we run quite a few ChIP assays and we interact with customers that run even more than us. Lately, we’ve noticed that more researchers are turning to ChIP for the first time as gene regulation studies continue to grow. So we thought we’d share a couple of quick tips for various aspects of […]
Pushing the Technology Frontier in Epigenetics Research with Dr. Andrew FeinbergJuly 16, 2012Dr. Andy Feinberg discusses what technology advances are needed in the field of epigenetics. This interview was shot on campus at Johns Hopkins University. This video was brought to you by epigenetics supporters at EMD Millipore Single Cell Analysis One of the areas I think is going to be really important is single-cell analysis. […]
ChIP Principles and Troubleshooting with Dr. Karen HallsJuly 16, 2012This webinar delivered by Dr. Karen Halls covers and introduction to chromatin and the ChIP process. It reviews protocols for ChIP, antibody selection, optimization of the method and includes troubleshooting guidance.
TACh Method Unlocks Chromatin Accessibility in Clinical SamplesJune 28, 2012Biobanks store valuable clinical samples that could provide a wealth of information about health and disease, but the secrets contained in these samples have been tough to get at with current technologies. But now, NIH researchers report a rapid new method called Tissue Accessible Chromatin (TACh) that could unlock these precious samples for chromatin analyses. […]
EMD Millipore AbSurance™ Histone Peptide Arrays: Insurance for Your AntibodiesJune 23, 2012It’s never a bad idea to insure the important things in life against disaster. Wouldn’t it be great if epigenetics researchers could do the same for an upcoming experiment? Although they aren’t exactly in the insurance game, EMD Millipore has designed the new AbSurance™ Histone Antibody Specificity Arrays to act as a protective policy against […]
NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Program Data ResourceJune 18, 2012Last August, we shared with you some of the great new online resources being developed by the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Program. Now, the latest issue of Epigenomics, has published an update of all the latest editions, tweaks and refinements they’ve made over the last year. The NIH Roadmap Reference Epigenome Mapping Consortium has created a […]
Ontario Cancer Institute Epigenetic Research PositionsJune 17, 2012News reports tell us how tough the job market is lately, so we’re doing our part for the global economy by posting these two new epigenetic research positions that the Ontario Cancer Institute (OCI) is looking to fill. Who knows? Maybe one of them is perfect for you. Postdoctoral Research Fellow or Research Associates – […]
Webinar: Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Struggles and SolutionsJune 15, 2012If you’re new to chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), or just want to brush up on your skills, this webinar might be a good place to start. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Struggles and Solutions Presented by: Eric Neely, Ph.D Senior Scientist at Novus Biologicals View Webinar >>
EZH2, PRC2 Get a Little Guidance From Intronic RNAs to Find Target GenesJune 7, 2012When touring an unfamiliar city or museum, it often helps to have a good guide if you want to see the best sights. Researchers in Spain now report that intronic RNAs, like a well trained herding dog, usher the repressive polycomb complex right to the specific chromatin regions they need to target in order to […]
Hi-C Gets the Low Down On Chromatin InteractionsJune 6, 2012The Hi-C you might remember from childhood was a delicious fruit punch drink with a mix of flavors. But as a recent Methods article points out, there’s a new Hi-C method on the scene. It’s not a juice beverage, but it is a tasty combination of techniques to analyze chromatin interactions that epigenetics researchers will […]
