@erc_bk My analysis report is generated from a Quarto markdown document, which contains cells with R, python or SQL code (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomsing1/blog/refs/heads/main/posts/ducklake/index.qmd). The `db_path` and `work_dir` variables are […]

A screenshot from the rmarkdown documentation, illustrating how R variables can be passed into SQL queries by prefacing the R variable name with a question mark in the SQL query.

Great crowd of angry Scientists and Science supporters at #standupforscience in San Francisco this afternoon. Speakers included scientists (among them Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi), cancer survivors, students and California State Senator Scott Wiener. It […]

Just read "ChIP-DIP maps binding of hundreds of proteins to DNA simultaneously and identifies diverse gene regulatory elements" by Perez et al (published in Nature Genetics, preprint is available here […]

Figure 1 from the preprint; ChIP-DIP: A highly multiplexed method for mapping proteins to genomic DNA. (A) Schematic of the ChIP-DIP method. Beads are coupled with an antibody and associated oligonucleotide (antibody-ID). Sets of beads are then mixed (antibody-bead pool) and used to perform ChIP. Multiple rounds of split-and-pool barcoding are performed to identify molecules bound by the same Protein G bead. DNA is sequenced and genomic DNA and antibody oligos containing the same split-and-pool barcode are grouped into a cluster, which are used to assign genomic DNA regions to their linked antibodies. All DNA reads corresponding to the same antibody are used to generate protein-localization maps. (B) Protein localization maps over a specific human genomic region (hg38, chr12:53,649,999-54,650,000) for four protein targets - CTCF, H3K4me3, RNAP II and H3K27me3. Left panel: Protein localization generated by ChIP-DIP in K562. Right panel: ChIP-Seq data generated by ENCODE within K562 for these same 4 proteins are shown for the same region. (C) Comparison of ChIP-DIP and ChIP-Seq maps over specific regions corresponding to zoom-ins of the larger region shown in (B). (D) Genome-wide comparison (density plots of signal correlation) between the localization of each individual protein measured by ChIP-DIP (x-axis) or ChIP-Seq (y-axis). Points are measured genome-wide across 10kb windows (CTCF, H3K27me3) or all promoter intervals (H3K4me3, RNAP II).
