You have identified a transcription factor and hypothesize that it binds to the promoter region of a gene that encodes a protein that causes cells to stop dividing. In order to test the interaction between the transcription factor and the DNA you will need to do a specific assay. Which one of the following would you use to test your hypothesis?
