Chromatin immunoprecipitation training structure
Our training introduces you to ChIP basics and essential protocols before moving on to optimization, troubleshooting, and more advanced techniques. Whether you are planning your first ChIP experiment or trying to optimize your protocol, we’ve got you covered.
Our ChIP training is divided into 4 parts:
- Part 1 goes through the basics of the ChIP assay, chromatin structure and function, as well as potential ChIP applications. We also provide a brief overview of advanced ChIP-based methods.
- Part 2 introduces you to the cross-linking and native ChIP protocols as well as chromatin preparation from tissues and plant samples.
- Part 3 explains three common methods of ChIP data analysis and then focuses on the ChIP-seq analysis, covering everything from quality checks to making your heat maps. You’ll also learn how to interpret your ChIP-seq data using online tools.
- Part 4 shares optimization and troubleshooting tips and answers some of the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) on ChIP assay. You’ll also learn some tips for carrying out a ChIP experiment with low cell numbers.
Upon training completion, you can test your knowledge with our final quiz and get a certificate.
