We anticipate that buffering of attractant concentration is a general mechanism for ensuring robust cell migration.Eukaryotic gene transcription is associated with the eviction of nucleosomes and the formation of open chromatin, which enables the recruitment of transcriptional coactivators and other regulatory factors. Open chromatin is thus a hallmark of functional regulatory DNA elements in genomes. In recent years, formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements (FAIRE) has proven powerful in identifying open chromatin in the genome of various eukaryotes, particularly yeast, human, and mouse. However, it has proven challenging to adapt the FAIRE protocol for use on plant material, and the few available protocols all have their drawbacks (e.g., applicability only to specific developmental stages). In this Protocol Extension, we describe a reliable FAIRE protocol for mature Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) leaves that adapts the original protocol for use on plants. The main differences between this protocol extension and the earlier FAIRE protocol are an increased formaldehyde concentration in the chromatin crosslinking buffer, application of a repeated vacuum to increase crosslinking efficiency, and altered composition of the DNA extraction buffer. The protocol is applicable to leaf chromatin of unstressed and stressed plants and can be completed within 1 week. Here, we also describe downstream analysis using qPCR and next-generation sequencing. However, this Protocol Extension should also be compatible with downstream hybridization to a DNA microarray. In addition, it is likely that only minor adaptations will be necessary to apply this protocol to other Arabidopsis organs or plant species.The Drosophila larva has been used to investigate many processes in cell biology, including morphogenesis, physiology and responses to
