Tetramethylammonium binds AT-rich DNA polymers while concomitantly abolishing the preferential melting of AT versus GC base pairs. It is supplied as a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 18 megohm water.
Application
Tetramethylammonium chloride solution (TMAC) has been used:
in the preparation of hybridization cocktail for array hybridization and scanning
in next-generation sequencing (NGS), and genome-wide unbiased identification of double-stranded breaks enabled by sequencing (GUIDE-seq) library preparation
in the preparation of TMAC buffer and bead hybridization mixture for hybridization and detection
Genome-wide unbiased identification of double-stranded breaks enabled by sequencing (GUIDE-seq) is a sensitive, unbiased, genome-wide method for defining the activity of genome-editing nucleases in living cells. GUIDE-seq is based on the principle of efficient integration of an end-protected double-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide

Several small alkylammonium ions can eliminate, or even reverse, the usual dependence of the DNA transition temperature on base composition. For example, in 3 M tetramethylammonium chloride, or 2.4 M tetraethylammonium chloride, DNAs of different base compositions all melt at

As small noncoding RNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate diverse biological functions, including physiological and pathological processes. The expression and deregulation of miRNA levels contain rich information with diagnostic and prognostic relevance and can reflect pharmacological responses. The increasing interest in miRNA-related

Immunoprecipitation of cross-linked chromatin in combination with microarrays (ChIP-chip) or ultra high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) is widely used to map genome-wide in vivo transcription factor binding. Both methods employ initial steps of in vivo cross-linking, chromatin isolation, DNA fragmentation, and immunoprecipitation.
