Abstract
The genomic approach (ChIP-seq) we introduce here is now a widely used powerful tool to explore protein–DNA interaction at genome-wide level in high resolution. This technology opens up the way to understand how local event mediated by protein–protein or protein–DNA interactions lead to the dynamic changes of overall chromosome structure and how variety of proteins make a regulatory network for the faithful execution of various chromosomal functions (i.e., transcription, replication, recombination, repair, and partition).
