ChIP-chip of E. coli K-12 MG1655 with antibody against PurR-8myc under various conditions.

We integrated transcription factor binding regions and mRNA transcript abundance to elucidate the PurR regulon experimentally. To measure transcription factor binding at a genome scale, we employed a ChIP-chip method to derivative strains of E. coli K-12 MG1655 harboring PurR-8myc under various conditions. A four ChIP-chip study under two separate culture conditions. The high-density oligonucleotide tiling arrays used were consisted of 371,034 oligonucleotide probes spaced 25 bp apart (25-bp overlap between two probes) across the E. coli genome.
