RNA interference and chromatin immunoprecipitation are now firmly established as useful methods for studying mechanisms of gene regulation in vivo. Their combined use can help elucidate gene regulation 'logic' by aiding in target gene identification for transcription factors and chromatin-modifying complexes.
