What methods can be used to analyze chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) results?

There are several methods to analyze ChIP results. 

qPCR is used for single-gene analysis, providing quantitative data on the presence of specific DNA sequences in the immunoprecipitated chromatin. qpCR involves absolute quantification that directly measures the amount of DNA present in a sample without comparing it to other samples. It can also involve relative quantification, which compares the amount of DNA in a test sample to that in a control sample. It involves comparing the amount of DNA in a test sample to a control sample. 

ChIP-seq enables whole-genome analysis, identifying DNA sequences bound by the target protein across the entire genome with high resolution. PCR and ChIP-chip are alternative methods for downstream analysis, offering options for studying specific DNA regions or genome-wide binding patterns.
