Data analysis for ChIP experiments involves several steps:
1. Alignment: Sequence reads are aligned to a reference genome. 2. Peak Calling: Software tools identify regions of the genome with significant enrichment of reads, indicating protein binding sites. 3. Annotation: The identified peaks are annotated with genomic features, such as promoters or enhancers. 4. Functional Analysis: Further analysis can include pathway enrichment and gene ontology to understand the biological significance of the binding sites.
