Antibody characterization standard updated

March 24, 2014

The ENCODE consortium has developed guidelines and best practices to ensure high-quality immunoprecipitation-based data.  Characterization of an antibody's specificity and sensitivity are included as part of these guidelines (PMID:22955991).  The antibody characterizations have been updated to include chromatin regulators and RNA binding-proteins.  

The updated antibody characterization document is available for download along with other experimental guidelines.
