Abstract:
Due to high resolution and reproducibility, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) has been used as a standard tool to investigate epigenetic marks including modified histones and specific histone variants (e.g., centromere-specific histone H3, CENH3) in this decade. Here, I describe a sensitive and low-background ChIP protocol for a wide range of plant species.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation- ChIP
12.8K
Chromatin immunoprecipitation, or ChIP, is an antibody-based technique used to identify sites on DNA that bind to transcription factors of interest or histone proteins. It also helps determine the type of histone modifications such as acetylation, phosphorylation, or methylation.
Types of ChIP
ChIP can be divided into two types - X-ChIP and N-ChIP. X-ChIP involves in vivo cross-linking of histones and regulatory proteins to DNA, fragmenting the DNA by sonication, and isolating the protein-DNA...

Immunoprecipitation
7.8K
Immunoprecipitation, or IP, is a widely used technique that employs protein-antibody interactions to isolate proteins or protein complexes in their native state for studying protein-protein interactions, quaternary structures, or supramolecular complexes. Various modifications of the technique, including chromatin IP, cross-linking IP, and fluorescence IP, are commonly used.
