Sample preparation
Wild-type embryos from 2 hr to 3 hr of age were cross-linked in 5% formaldehyde saturated hexanes for 5 minutes then frozen. Cross-linked material was homogenized, lysed, and chromatin was purified by CsCl gradient before sonication to an average size of approximately 750bp.
Collection preparation
Pre-cleared chromatin was incubated with affinity-purified polyclonal antibody directed against bcd protein; two different antibody preparations were used, obtained by affinity-purification using non-overlapping portions of the bcd protein. Bound-chromatin was immunoprecipitated with protein-A beads. DNA from duplicate input chromatin samples, duplicate TF immunoprecipitations and duplicate control immunoprecipitations (normal rabbit IgG) was reverse cross-linked, purified and amplified using a random-prime-based PCR amplification protocol. Amplified DNA was fragmented with DNase I and biotinylated for microarray hybridization (in triplicate).
Mode of assay
ChIP-chip
Assay platform
Affymetrix Drosophila Melanogaster Antisense Tiling Array
Data analysis
ChIP-chip array data were processed using TiMAT. Only data for oligos mapping uniquely to release 4 of the D. melanogaster genome were considered. The mean hybridization intensity at each probe was divided by the mean probe intensity in the input DNA samples (three technical replicates). The logarithms of the ratios (IP/input) were averaged in 675-bp windows advanced one oligo at a time (lowest and highest values were dropped to produce a trimmed mean). Bound regions were identified by comparing the distribution of observed window scores to the computed symmetric null distribution: see Figure 1F in Li et al. (FBrf0205197). This estimated null distribution was used to assign p-values to each window, and a score threshold was chosen at 1%FDR. Bound regions ("intervals") were calculated from contiguous stretches of windows having scores above the given FDR threshold, requiring these contiguous stretches to contain at least ten windows with a maximum allowable gap of 200bp between any two adjacent windows.
Data was re-mapped to the April 2006 assembly of the D. melanogaster genome (dm3, BDGP release 5).
Peaks from multiple embryonic ChIP data sets were merged and the union was taken.

Original data generated by BDTNP (FBrf0205197). Data obtained by modENCODE group from http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/dm3/database/. The GFF3 file in Data S7 of the modENCODE integrative fly paper (FBrf0213603) corresponds to the union of bdtnpBcd1Fdr1.txt.gz and bdtnpBcd2Fdr1.txt.gz.
This data set was one of 41 TF data sets used by the modENCODE consortium in an integrative "HOT spot analysis" (see Parent Collection FBlc0000258 for more details).
