Comparing DAP-Seq vs Chip-Seq

ChIP-Seq
DAP-Seq
Common
w  Detecting DNA binding proteins with sequencing technique
w  As they are using sequencing technique there are several advantages compared to protein binding array
-      Array needs primary sequence to make a probe
-      Array is hard to find tissue-specific 5-methylcytosine
Goal
w  Histone modifications O
  e.g. H3Kme1 - (epigenetic modification to histone)
w  Transcription factors O
w  Histone modifications X
w  Transcription factors O
TF-DNA
binding
w  In vivo
w  Formaldehyde fixation(cross link)
w  In vitro
w  Affinity purified TF - gDNA
(but not nucleosome-disadvantages)
Antibody
w  Using Antibody
-      Sometimes hard to execute because of antibody quality. As antibody is sensitive with heat. 
-      Require specific antibody. It can take years to develop the new antibody.
w  Need input (Nonspecific antibody) to accurately normalize data
w  X Antibody

Lowly expressed protein
w  Hard to detect. Because protein(antibody) is hard to be detected. 
w  Easy to detect
Background 
Noise
w  Yes (need negative control)w Yes (need negative control)
Pipeline
(statistic)
w  Peak calling – MACS
-      Find the peak: sample vs Input(control)
w  GEM peak caller(O’Mally 2016)
ATAC-Seq: Chromatin accessibility )

In common, Chip-Seq and DAP-Seq can detect the DNA binding proteins such as transcription factor binding site. Then what is transcription factor?
Transcription factor regulates the transcription (DNA->mRNA). When the gene is expressed, the general transcription factors bind to promotor.

ChIP-Seq(Chromatin Immunoprecipitation) is well known technique to find the region attached with transcription factors. In ChIP-Seq,
