RNA-sequencing and bioinformatics analyses were used to identify significantly and differentially expressed transcription factors in Lin-CD34+ and Lin-CD34- subpopulations of mouse EMLcells. These transcription factors might play important roles in determining the switch between self-renewing Lin-CD34+ and partially differentiated Lin-CD34- cells.

Here we present a protocol which is designed to analyze the genome-wide binding of the oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2 (Olig2) in acutely purified brain oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) by performing low-cell chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), library preparation, high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatic data analysis.
