High-throughput sequencing methods have created exciting opportunities to explore the regulatory landscape of the entire genome. Here we introduce methods to characterize the genomic locations of bound proteins, open chromatin, and sites of DNA-DNA contact in Xenopus embryos. These methods include chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq), a combination of DNase I digestion and sequencing (DNase-seq), the assay for transposase-accessible chromatin and sequencing (ATAC-seq), and the use of proximity-based DNA ligation followed by sequencing (Hi-C). © 2020 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press.
