<p>How to detect histone modification?</p>
 
<ul>
<li>Chip-Chip : chromatin immunoprecipitation with DNA microarrays
<ul>
<li>immunoprecipitation : specific antibodies are used to immunoprecipitate the DNA-histone complexes</li>
<li>visualization : purify immunoprecipitation --&gt; amplification --&gt; labeled with fluorescent tag</li>
</ul>
