Preparation of optimized concanavalin A-conjugated Dynabeads® magnetic beads for CUT&Tag.

Epigenome research has employed various methods to identify the genomic location of proteins of interest, such as transcription factors and histone modifications. A recently established method called CUT&Tag uses a Protein-A Tn5 transposase fusion protein, which cuts the genome and inserts adapt...
