Abstract
High-throughput sequencing SELEX (HT-SELEX) is a powerful technique for unbiased determination of preferred target motifs of DNA-binding proteins in vitro. The procedure depends upon selection of DNA binding sites from a random library of oligonucleotides by purifying protein-DNA complexes and amplifying bound DNA using the polymerase chain reaction. Here, we describe an optimized step-by-step protocol for HT-SELEX compatible with Illumina sequencing. We also introduce a bioinformatic pipeline (eme_selex) facilitating the detection of promiscuous DNA binding by analyzing the enrichment of all possible k-mers. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Pantier et al. (2021).
