Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is same as Chromosome Conformation Capture.
3C assays involve three basic steps:
(1) interacting chromosome segments are cross-linked with formaldehyde,
(2) the DNA is digested, and
(3) cross-linked DNA fragments are ligated to produce products that are amplified and can be further analyzed.
