In the field of epigenetics, histone modifications play a fundamental role in regulating gene expression and maintaining chromatin structure. CD ComputaBio's histone modification analysis service is a comprehensive solution designed to help researchers explore the complex world of histone modifications. Whether you are studying development, disease mechanisms, or normal cellular function, our service can assist you in uncovering the secrets hidden within histone modifications.
Histone modifications are post-translational modifications of the histone proteins around which DNA is wrapped. These modifications, including acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination, play critical roles in modulating chromatin structure and regulating gene expression. By influencing the accessibility of DNA to transcription factors, histone modifications are essential for processes like cellular differentiation, development, and the response to environmental stimuli, making them key players in epigenetic regulation.

With state-of-the-art methods and a team of seasoned experts, CD ComputaBio offers unparalleled insights into the complex world of histone modifications.
Sample Preparation: Collect appropriate biological samples, such as cells, tissues or blood, according to the research purpose. Ensure that the quality and quantity of the samples meet the requirements of subsequent experiments, and then pre-treat the samples.
Histone Extraction and Purification: Histones are extracted from samples using specific methods, such as acid extraction and ultrasonic fragmentation. After extraction, impurities are removed through purification steps to obtain relatively pure histones for subsequent modification analysis.
Histone Modification Detection: A variety of techniques are used to detect various modifications on histones. Common methods include chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq), histone blotting (Western blot), mass spectrometry (MS), etc.
Data Analysis: For ChIP-seq data, sequence alignment, peak identification and other analyses are required to determine the distribution of histone modifications on the genome. For mass spectrometry data, analysis is performed using specialized software and algorithms to determine the modification sites and relative abundance.
Result Verification: To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results, independent methods are usually used to verify key results, such as real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) to verify the histone modification levels in specific gene regions obtained by ChIP-seq.
Advanced technology platforms
Equipped with state-of-the-art sequencing platforms and high-performance computing clusters, the facility is capable of efficiently and accurately handling large-scale histone modification projects.
