Preferred Label : Chromatin Immunoprecipitation;
NCIt synonyms : ChIP;
NCIt definition : A technique that utilizes immunoprecipitation to find protein-DNA interactions in
a biological sample. First, the sample is treated causing the formation of protein-chromatin
crosslinks. Then, the sample is sheared to separate individual protein-DNA complexes.
Finally, an antibody directed against a protein of interest is applied and the protein-DNA
complexes are immunoprecipitated.;
