The in vitro PORE: An Improved Technique to Pull Out Regulatory Elements
Alpa Sidhu1, Patrick J. Miller, and Andrew D. Hollenbach*
In this article, Andrew Hollenbach of the LSU Medical Center describes a new method for discovering genomic regulatory elements. His technique, called in vitro PORE (Pull Out Regulatory Elements), enables scientists to rapidly identify novel regulatory elements not discoverable with current ChIP (chromatin immunoprecipitation) methods. In addition, in vitro PORE does not require expensive microarray instrumentation and its associated limitations. Dr. Hollenbach illustrates how his method can be performed quickly and cost effectively using Lucigen products.
