Improvement of the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay by DNA fragment size fractionation.
The chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay is a valuable technique that allows researchers to establish what proteins (e.g., transcription factors) bind in vivo to a specific region of DNA, usually a gene promoter (1). In vitro proteinDNA binding assays, such as the electrophoretic mobility shift assay, are useful in identifying potential transcription factors that bind to a specific DNA se...

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is an invaluable method for studying interactions between specific proteins or modified forms of proteins and a genomic DNA region. ChIP can be used to determine whether a transcription factor interacts with a candidate target gene and is used with equal frequency to monitor the presence of histones with post-translational modifications at specific genomic l...

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a widely used method to explore in vivo interactions between proteins and DNA. The ChIP assay takes several days to complete, involves several tube transfers and uses either phenol-chlorophorm or spin columns to purify DNA. The traditional ChIP method becomes a challenge when handling multiple samples. We have developed an efficient and rapid Chelex resin...

Association between proteins and DNA is crucial for many vital cellular functions such as gene transcription, DNA replication and recombination, repair, segregation, chromosomal stability, cell cycle progression, and epigenetic silencing. It is important to know the genomic targets of DNA-binding proteins and the mechanisms by which they control and guide gene regulation pathways and cellular p...

Epigenetics remains a rapidly developing field that studies how the chromatin state contributes to differential gene expression in distinct cell types at different developmental stages. Epigenetic regulation contributes to a broad spectrum of biological processes, including cellular differentiation during embryonic development and homeostasis in adulthood. A critical strategy in epigenetic stud...
