Abstract |
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a widely used and very powerful procedure to identify the proteins that are associated with the DNA to regulate developmental processes. These proteins can be transcription factors, or specific histone variants and modified histones, which are all crucial for gene regulation. In order to obtain reliable results, ChIP must be carried out under highly reproducible conditions. Here, we describe a simple and fast ChIP protocol adapted for Arabidopsis seedlings, which can serve as a basis for other species, organs or more sophisticated procedures, such as the sequential ChIP. We also provide user-oriented troubleshooting to increase the chances of successful applications. |
