Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation (CUT&Tag) is a recent methodology used for robust epigenomic profiling that, unlike conventional chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-Seq), requires only a limited amount of cells as starting material. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) reveals the presence and quantity of RNA in a biological sample, describing the continuously changing cellular transcriptome. The integrated analysis of transcriptional activity, histone modifications, and chromatin accessibility via CUT&Tag is still in its infancy compared to the well-established ChIP-Seq. This chapter describes a robust bioinformatics methodology and workflow to perform an integrative CUT&Tag/RNA-Seq analysis.
Keywords: Bioinformatics; Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq); Cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag); Histone marks; Next-generation sequencing (NGS); RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq).
