Figure 2From: Protocol: Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) methodology to investigate histone modifications in two model diatom speciesSonication efficiency. Different times and number of cycles were used for sonication. After crosslinking, eluted DNA was loaded in a 2% gel to monitor the efficiency of sonication. From left to right, ladder, 10 times diluted sample containing 500000 cells/ml with 7 cycles 25 seconds ON and 1 minute OFF, original sample from 200 ml culture containing 5 million cells/ml, 4x and 2x diluted samples with 7 cycles, 25 seconds and 1 minute OFF and 4x diluted sample with 9 cycles, 30 seconds ON and 1 minute OFF.Back to article page
