General description

Tetramethylammonium binds AT-rich DNA polymers while concomitantly abolishing the preferential melting of AT versus GC base pairs. It is supplied as a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 18 megohm water.

Application

Tetramethylammonium chloride solution (TMAC) has been used:
  • in the preparation of hybridization cocktail for array hybridization and scanning
  • in next-generation sequencing (NGS), and genome-wide unbiased identification of double-stranded breaks enabled by sequencing (GUIDE-seq) library preparation
  • in the preparation of TMAC buffer and bead hybridization mixture for hybridization and detection

Genome-wide unbiased identification of double-stranded breaks enabled by sequencing (GUIDE-seq) is a sensitive, unbiased, genome-wide method for defining the activity of genome-editing nucleases in living cells. GUIDE-seq is based on the principle of efficient integration of an end-protected double-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide

Immunoprecipitation of cross-linked chromatin in combination with microarrays (ChIP-chip) or ultra high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) is widely used to map genome-wide in vivo transcription factor binding. Both methods employ initial steps of in vivo cross-linking, chromatin isolation, DNA fragmentation, and immunoprecipitation.
