Description

The Magna ChIRP U2snRNA contains a 20-mer DNA oligonucleotide complementary to the sequence of Human RNA, U2 small nuclear 1. The probe is biotin-TEG-labeled at the 3-prime end. The oligonucleotide is supplied ready for use in the ChIRP method., Pervasive genomic transcription and the role of non-coding RNAs in this process is a rapidly evolving field that remains to be thoroughly explored in gene regulation.Historically, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) has been used to interrogate association of proteins with genomic DNA sequences. Given that chromatin contains not only DNA and DNA-binding proteins, but also RNA-binding proteins and RNA, new methods have been developed to map the association of these RNA molecules to distinct regions of the genome. One such method, designated ChIRP (Chromatin Isolation by RNA Purification), allows recovery of specific segments of DNA and proteins using chromatin associated RNA as a target. This unique approach allows isolation of chromatin-associated RNAs (e.g. lncRNAs) within specific regions of genomic DNA sequences, as well as proteomic analysis of protein components of the lncRNA regulatory complexes. The Magna ChIRP(R) RNA Interactome Kits (cat. # 17-10494 and 17-10495) facilitate the use of this method and has been proven compatible with this probe set.
