CLIP-seq

Map RNA-binding protein interaction regions and sequence preferences using crosslinking, immunoprecipitation and sequencing.

How it works

CLIP-seq combines crosslinking and immunoprecipitation with sequencing to locate RNA regions that interact with a protein of interest. It supports studies of binding patterns and sequence preferences, as well as their relationship with splicing, RNA stability and other post-transcriptional processes.

Experimental and analytical workflow

Applications

  • Identify RNA regions associated with RBP binding
  • Characterize binding motifs and sequence preferences
  • Investigate links between splicing-factor binding and RNA regulation

Key features

  • Crosslinking captures RNA-protein interactions in cells
  • Provides a focused view of protein-binding regions on RNA
  • Crosslinking, antibody selection and library strategy tailored to the target protein

Workflow

  1. 01

    Select the target RBP, antibody and crosslinking strategy

  2. 02

    Crosslink and immunoprecipitate RNA-protein complexes

  3. 03

    Recover bound RNA fragments, prepare libraries and sequence

  4. 04

    Identify binding regions and annotate motifs and transcripts
