A protocol is described that uses Illumina's Infinium assays to perform large-scale genotyping. These assays can reliably genotype millions of SNPs across hundreds of individual DNA samples in three days. Once generated, these genotypes can be used to check for associations with a variety of different diseases or phenotypes.

Bisulfite amplicon sequencing (BSAS) is a method for quantifying cytosine methylation in targeted genomic regions of interest. This method uses bisulfite conversion paired with PCR amplification of target regions prior to next-generation sequencing to produce absolute quantitation of DNA methylation at a base-specific level.

Zebrafish were recently used as an in vivo model system to study DNA replication timing during development. Here is detailed the protocols for using zebrafish embryos to profile replication timing. This protocol can be easily adapted to study replication timing in mutants, individual cell types, disease models, and other species.

Salivary gland hypofunction is a frequent consequence of autoimmune disease and radiation therapy. Reproducible evaluation of salivary gland function in mouse models of these diseases is a technical challenge. Here, a simple method for accurate and reproducible measurement of saliva production in mice is described.

Early Pathological and Magnetic Resonance Detection of Cerebral Injury Using a Rat Model of Neonatal Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy

The present protocol describes a rodent model of newborn hypoxic-ischemic injury for identifying early changes in cerebral tissue by gross morphology and magnetic resonance imaging. This has benefits over existing models, which can be used to study late injury but do not allow the evaluation of reproducible early changes.

Cell-Specific Paired Interrogation of the Mouse Ovarian Epigenome and Transcriptome
Sarah R. Ocañas *1,2,3, José V. V. Isola *1,3, Tatiana D. Saccon 1, Kevin D. Pham 2, Ana J. Chucair-Elliott 2, Augusto Schneider 4, Willard M. Freeman 2,3, Michael B. Stout 1,3

In this protocol, the translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) method and the isolation of nuclei tagged in specific cell types (INTACT) method were optimized for the paired interrogation of the cell-specific ovarian transcriptome and epigenome using the NuTRAP mouse model crossed to a Cyp17a1-Cre mouse line.
