Affymetrix Confidential RationaleRationale forfor choosingchoosing MethylMethyl--DIPDIP

ƒ Can be performed on one sample – Input vs Antibody bound

ƒ Potentially quantitative percentage – Higher signal (enrichment) = higher percent methylation

ƒ Results are much more comparable to other ChIP-chip experiments – Eg. Histone modifications, TF binding site
