Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation Service

CD BioSciences offers cleavage under targets and tagmentation technology service, based on extensive expertise in plant molecular biology, and provides clients with innovative solutions to accurately screen DNA that interacts with plant proteins with high-resolution and sensitivity equipment.

The Principle of Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation

Cleavage under targets and tagmentation is an emerging method for protein-DNA interaction studies. It works by causing the antibody-enzyme complex to attach to a protein target selectively, then cleaving the DNA region adjacent to the target. The extracted DNA is amplified to obtain a library and then sequenced. Recent studies have shown that cleavage under targets and tagmentation technology can be successfully applied in plants with better results than ChIP-seq.

Expansion services

  • Multi-cleavage under targets and tagmentation service

We also provide the multi-cleavage under targets and tagmentation service. Compared to traditional technology, it enables the simultaneous study of two targets in one sample without the use of secondary antibodies, reducing the process.

  • Optimization service of cleavage under targets and tagmentation product recovery

To improve recovery, we select the appropriate combination of antibodies and enzymes for clients to achieve optimal target specificity and lysis efficiency. Our optimization services include antibody concentration, incubation time, and temperature.

  • Optimization service of library construction methods

We offer optimized DNA purification methods to obtain high-quality DNA fragments. We utilize enzymatic reactions to generate junctions compatible with downstream sequencing platforms and carefully quality-check the libraries to ensure accurate and reliable sequencing results.
