ChIP » Prokaryotic

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a well-established and reliable method used to identify the DNA binding site of a protein of interest. Chip2 ™ microarray products combine the strengths of OGT microarrays with chromatin immunoprecipitation. Chip2 microarrays are a powerful technique that can be used to analyse and identify the precise positions on the genome where DNA:protein interactions occur.

Use Chip2 microarrays to:

  • Identify the binding positions of global DNA binding proteins
  • Analyse changes in a particular protein's binding under various environmental conditions.
  • As a model system to further understand gene regulation
  • Reveal potential therapeutic targets against these Prokaryotic species

Chip2 microarray products from OGT offer:

  • The ability to screen whole Prokaryotic genomes on one array at high resolution
  • High sensitivity resulting from the use of validated 60mer oligonucleotide microarrays
  • High quality microarrays at a cost effective price fabricated using the latest technology
  • Reduced preparation time as the sample requires no PCR amplification
  • Two colour microarrays enabling test and control samples to be hybridised on the same array saving valuable time and experimental costs.
