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.
