T1 - DIP-chip: Rapid and accurate determination of DNA-binding specificity Y1 - 2005/03/01 JF - Genome Research JO - Genome Research SP - 421 EP - 427 DO - 10.1101/gr.3256505 VL - 15 IS - 3 UR - http://genome.cshlp.org/content/15/3/421.abstract N2 - We have developed a new method for determining the DNA-binding specificity of proteins. In DIP-chip (DNA immunoprecipitation with microarray detection), protein·DNA complexes are isolated from an in vitro mixture of purified protein and naked genomic DNA. Whole-genome DNA microarrays are used to identify the protein-bound DNA fragments, and the sequence of the identified fragments is used to derive binding-site descriptions. Using objective criteria for assessing the accuracy of DNA-binding motifs, and using yeast Leu3p as a model, we demonstrate that motifs determined by DIP-chip are as effective at predicting the location of bound proteins in vivo as are motifs determined by conventional low-throughput in vitro methods.
