Abstract: | Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays are widely used to investigate where chromatin-binding proteins bind to the genome. The standard assay is very time consuming. We have developed a rapid ChIP assay in which the immunoprecipitates serve directly as PCR templates. This assay eliminates the step to reverse the crosslinking, shortening the assay by 1 day. It also requires a less immunoprecipitating antibody, permits many samples to be tested simultaneously, and is more sensitive than the standard ChIP assay. |
