Magna ChIP-Seq™ Chromatin Immunoprecipitation and Next Generation Sequencing Library Preparation Kit by Merck

ChIP-Seq facilitates genome-wide profiling of the interactions of transcription factors, modified histones, and other chromatin associated proteins. By combining chromatin immunoprecipitation with next generation sequencing, laboratories can generate high resolution data on protein-DNA interactions across the genome. For laboratories interested in gaining a deeper understanding of epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation, ChIP-Seq has become an indispensable tool. The Magna ChIP-Seq Kit simplifies this technique by providing a validated set of reagents, easy-to-follow protocols, controls, and in process quality control guidelines to allow virtually any laboratory to conduct genome-wide analysis of DNA-protein interactions and the profiling of epigenetic marks.
