Chromatin immunoprecipitation is a scientific method that helps researchers identify and study specific DNA regions that interact with proteins inside cells. It involves using antibodies to "pull out" these DNA-protein complexes so they can be analyzed and understood better.

In the study, the team performed a genome - wide
chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis for genes that were the target of BMAL1, a core clock component that binds to many other clock genes, regulating their transcription.
To evaluate histone modification (another epigenetic event), the authors employed
chromatin immunoprecipitation with high - throughput sequencing (CHiP - Seq) to capture DNA sequences bound by H3 histones marking active (K4me1, K4me3, K27ac, K36me3) or repressed (K27me3, K9me3) chromatin.
(D) Cells transfected with either Keap1 or control siRNA were subjected to
chromatin immunoprecipitation after treatment with either 10 µM HPP - 1014, 10 µM CoPP, or 1 µM HPP - 4382 for 6 hours.
(A) NHLF Cells were treated with 0.1 µM CDDO - Me or 1 µM HPP - 4382 for 6 hours after which they were crosslinked with 1 % formaldehyde in media, washed, and collected to be processed for
chromatin immunoprecipitation as described in Materials and Methods.
Chromatin immunoprecipitation verified that HPP - 4382 treatment of NHLF cells reciprocally coordinated a decrease in binding of Bach1 and an increase of Nrf2 binding to the HMOX1 E2 enhancer.
At ABclonal, we have nearly 100
existing chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)- validated antibodies with a higher specificity than most commercial antibodies, which are used for a wide range of epigenetics studies, from those investigating developmental processes to those researching various diseases.
For example, the 2015 Nature scientific report, Important biological information uncovered in previously unaligned reads
from chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments (ChIP - Seq) discusses how various computational tools can find new information that can assist in the construction of gene regulatory grids.
Comprehensive study of the chromatin events during hematopoiesis (or any other development process) has been hampered by the low sensitivity of
current Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) protocols.
To evaluate whether loss of ABL kinases affected TAZ activity, we
performed chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis using primers for TAZ targets identified by ChIP sequencing analysis (42).
This unique technology was launched in December 2017, and integrates
automated chromatin immunoprecipitation and next generation sequencing library preparation within the same protocol, eliminating the traditional tedious steps, purifications, and inefficiencies that can result from standard ChIP - seq protocols.
Furthermore, genome - wide studies,
combining chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and array hybridization (ChIP - on - chip), have revealed that both active and silenced genes are directly bound in ES cells by one or more of the core pluripotency factors Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog [17], [19], [63].
STAT6 co-immunoprecipitated with the transcriptional co-activator, p300, and
chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that these proteins bind a consensus STAT6 binding site located within the COX - 2 promoter.
Called SIF - seq, for site - specific integration fluorescence - activated cell sorting followed by sequencing, this new technique complements existing genomic tools, such as ChIP - seq (
chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing), and offers some additional benefits.
Services include global and gene - specific DNA methylation analysis, and
chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by library preparation in a high - throughput format (HT ChIP - Seq).
All chromatin immunoprecipitations were quantified using quantitative PCR.
Chromatin immunoprecipitation was used to monitor Nrf2 and Bach1 occupancy at the HMOX1 E2 ARE.
Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay.
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay was performed using EZ ChIP kit (Millipore) according to the instruction of the manufacturer.
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a technique to investigate protein - DNA interactions at a specific genomic - site.
Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed as previously described (Lee et al., 2006).
