Epigenomic Profiling of Dorsal Root Ganglia upon Regenerative and Non-regenerative Axonal Injury.

Abstract

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq), and assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) are genome-wide techniques that provide information relative to gene expression, chromatin binding sites, and chromatin accessibility, respectively. Here we describe RNA-seq, H3K9ac, H3K27ac and H3K27me3 ChIP-seq, and ATAC-seq in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) after sciatic nerve or dorsal column axotomy, to characterize the transcriptional and epigenetic signatures of DRG upon regenerative vs non-regenerative axonal lesion.
