DSB-Seq

Map DNA Double-Strand Breaks

DSB-Seq maps in vivo DNA DSBs on a genome-wide scale (Baranello et al., 2014). In this method, DNA is biotinylated by a 3ê-end tailing reaction with biotin-16-dUTP. The biotinylated DNA is sonicated and captured with streptavidin-coated beads. The free DNA fragments are purified and used to prepare a sequencing library.
