Map global binding sites with ChIP-seq and visualize results for histones, transcription factors, or any other protein of interest. The technique involving chromatin immunoprecipitation + sequencing (ChIP-seq) is used for analyzing protein interactions with DNA. Comparing how transcription factors and other chromatin-associated proteins like histone marks interact with DNA in different conditions provides valuable, epigenetic insights into mechanisms of disease, the effect of different treatments, & more. Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) is a newer technique for measuring DNA-protein interactions. Scientists working in oncology, immunology, drug discovery & other areas of research can use ChIP-seq or CUT&RUN to compare healthy and disease states to identify differentially binding and altered biological pathways to discover therapeutic targets.
