Telomere chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is an experimental method used to determine whether proteins are associated with telomere DNA inside the nuclei of cells and tissues. Telomere-associated proteins are first covalently crosslinked to telomere DNA, and then immunoprecipitated using an antibody specific for the protein of interest. This method has become one of the most indispensable tools for investigating the protein complexes that associate with telomeres.
