May 1, 2018 · It is critical to determine if the ChIP actually enriched the DNA sequences that are associated with the target protein. If there are known genomic binding sites, primers can be designed for quantitative PCR (qPCR) to determine if the known sites are specifically enriched by immunoprecipitation.

Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) allows you to quantify DNA concentrations from multiple samples in real time by analyzing fluorescent signal intensities that are proportional to the amount of amplicon after completing the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) …

Learn about choosing an antibody and see the procedure for performing ChIP, including convenient stopping points in the protocol and a guide to analyzing the results via qPCR.

ChIP-qPCR data needs to be normalized for sources of variability, including amount of chromatin, efficiency of immunoprecipitation, and DNA recovery. Here we discuss two common methods used to normalize ChIP-qPCR data—the Percent Input Method and the Fold Enrichment Method.

Here we provide a robust ChIP protocol and strategy to optimize the protocol for any type of tissue; we argue that quantitative real-time PCR (QPCR) is the best method to analyze the precipitates, and present comprehensive insights into data normalization.

ChIP is a tool that has unlocked the mysteries of chromatin and revolutionized our understanding of the science behind it. The ChIP technique can be used in any area of research to further elucidate gene function and regulation in their native state. When to ChIP?

Jan 1, 2020 · Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of epigenetic modifications (epiChIP) coupled with quantitative PCR (qPCR), is the current Gold Standard in epigenetic research and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays are used to evaluate transcription factor-DNA interactions and are critical for advancing gene expression regulation and epigenetic modifications studies. ChIP can detect and relatively quantify specific protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions in vivo at a single locus or multiple loci.

Apr 8, 2025 · Coupling ChIP with quantitative PCR (qPCR) provides a powerful tool to generate quantitative, real-time data on protein-DNA interactions within a short turnaround time. A successful ChIP-qPCR experiment requires antibodies that are sensitive, specific, and provide reproducible results every time.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) coupled with quantitative PCR (qPCR) has in the last 15 years become a basic mainstream tool in genomic research. Numerous commercially available ChIP kits, qPCR kits, and real-time PCR systems allow for quick and easy analysis of virtually anything chromatin-rel …
