ChIP sequencing
open-in-new
<p>ChIP-sequencing, also known as ChIP-seq, is a method used to analyze <a href="/facts/Protein/Jxmagu3E">protein</a> interactions with <a href="/facts/DNA/nB89Iauz">DNA</a>. ChIP-seq combines <a href="/facts/Chromatin_immunoprecipitation/Wx5o8hQq">chromatin immunoprecipitation</a> (ChIP) with <a href="/facts/Massively_parallel_signature_sequencing/yXeEPPSW">massively parallel</a> <a href="/facts/DNA_sequencing/hsPsNCQW">DNA sequencing</a> to identify the <a href="/facts/Binding_site/gd9r9Rw7">binding sites</a> of DNA-associated proteins. It can be used to map global binding sites precisely for any protein of interest. Previously, <a href="/facts/ChIP-on-chip/6SP2arj6">ChIP-on-chip</a> was the most common technique utilized to study these protein–DNA relations. </p>
