However, broadly applicable methods for between-sample comparisons are lacking. Results: Here, we introduce SNP-ChIP, a method that leverages small-scale intra-species polymorphisms, mainly SNPs, for quantitative spike-in normalization of ChIP-seq results. Sourcing spike-in material from the same species ensures antibody cross-reactivity and physiological coherence, thereby eliminating two central limitations of traditional spike-in approaches. We show that SNP-ChIP is robust to changes in sequencing depth and spike-in proportions, and reliably identifies changes in overall protein levels, irrespective of changes in binding distribution. Application of SNP-ChIP to test cases from budding yeast meiosis allowed discovery of novel regulators of the chromosomal protein Red1 and quantitative analysis of the DNA-damage associated histone modification γ-H2AX. Conclusion: SNP-ChIP is fully compatible with the intra-species diversity of humans and most model organisms and thus offers a general method for normalizing ChIP-seq results. date: 2019 publisher: BioMed Central ; Springer id_scheme: DOI ppn_swb: 1656012456 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-259162 language: eng bibsort: VALESILVALSNPCHIPAVE2019 full_text_status: public publication: BMC Genomics volume: 20 number: 54 place_of_pub: London ; Berlin, Heidelberg pagerange: 1-10 issn: 1471-2164 citation: Vale-Silva, Luis A. ; Markowitz, Tovah E. ; Hochwagen, Andreas (2019) SNP-ChIP: a versatile and tag-free method to quantify changes in protein binding across the genome.
