The White Lab is aiming to map the association of many of the
non-histone chromosomal proteins on the genome of Drosophila
melanogaster. One technique that we use for this purpose is chromatin
immunoprecipitation coupled with deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) utilizing
an Illumina next generation sequencing platform. The data generated by
ChIP-seq experiments consist basically of a plot of signal intensity
across the genome. The highest signals correspond to positions in the
genome occupied by the tested chromatin-binding protein.
