Please note that there are three main sources of variation in both peak base pair size and distribution 1 2 9 The physical process of DNA fragmentation might not be entirely random in AT or GC rich regions The analytical process to determine fragment size has inherent variances for example gel electrophoresis and microfluidics based platform Therefore fragment distributions and peak values even from technical replicates may not appear identical If the sheared DNA sample will be resin or column purified or concentrated prior to analysis please remember to take out an aliquot for use as control prior to that step Column purification and concentration of the sheared DNA will generate a biased fragment distribution profile due to the inherent greater loss of the smaller DNA fragments RNA contamination in genomic DNA preparation should be carefully removed using RNase DNase free enzymatic digestion since they might generate a biased fragment distribution profile on microfluidics based platform eg Agilent Bioanalyzer or alter sonication effiency Chromatin shearing Critical points for chromatin shearing Chromatin shearing efficiency varies on cell type Each cell type might need additional protocol optimization The extent of cross linking is critical for the efficient disruption of fixed cells and also affects DNA yield and average size of chromatin fragments Over cross linked chromatin will not produce small fragme
