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.
