How Can We Determine Which DNA Sequences Are Bound by a Protein?

In this simulation, the learner will design a chromatin immunoprecipitation experiment that could be used to determine which DNA sequences are bound by a given protein of interest. The transcription factor, Myc, serves as an example.
