Epigenetics is the field that studies the changes that regulate gene expression without affecting the coding sequence of DNA, such as changes in DNA methylation and postranslational modifications at the histone tails. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) scientists are able to study which proteins (histones or transcription factors) bind to DNA at a specific locus. ChIP becomes a powerful tool when it is coupled to sequencing or DNA microarrays, a technique known as ChIP-chip, enabling the study of all possible binding sites for any protein across the entire genome. A miniaturized micro-...
