Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a technique used to study the association of specific proteins, or their modified isoforms, with defined genomic regions. In a ChIP assay, DNA-protein complexes (Chromatin) are identified using matching antibodies and the resulting fractions treated to separate the DNA and protein components. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Real Time PCR, hybridization on microarrays, or direct sequencing are typically used to identify DNA fragments of defined sequence.
