染色质免疫沉淀（英语：Chromatin Immunoprecipitation，简称为ChIP）被用来研究细胞内DNA与蛋白质相互作用，具体来说就是确定特定蛋白（如转录因子）是否结合特定基因组区域（如启动子或其它DNA结合位点）——可能定义顺反组。ChIP还被用来确定基因组上与组蛋白修饰相关的特定位点（即组蛋白修饰酶类的靶标）。 此方法的简要过程是：细胞裂解液里的蛋白和相关染色质暂时结合；染色质(DNA)-蛋白复合物被剪切，与所研究蛋白相关的DNA片断被选择性免疫沉淀；相关DNA片断被纯化，顺序被测定。一般认为这些DNA顺序在活体内与所研究蛋白结合。

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a type of immunoprecipitation experimental technique used to investigate the interaction between proteins and DNA in the cell. It aims to determine whether specific proteins are associated with specific genomic regions, such as transcription factors on promoters or other DNA binding sites, and possibly defining cistromes. ChIP also aims to determine the specific location in the genome that various histone modifications are associated with, indicating the target of the histone modifiers.
