Determining which components of the transcription machinery associate with the viral and cellular genome, and how this changes at specific stages of the viral life cycle is paramount to understanding how the distinct transcriptional programs associated with primary infection, latency, and disease are established and how they are reprogrammed during initiation and execution of the viral lytic replication cycle. Chromatin precipitations linked to next generation DNA sequencing (ChIP-Seq) allow for the interactions of proteins with DNA to be mapped across both viral and cellular genomes. This can be applied to viral and cellular transcription factors, coactivators and corepressors, modified histones, and modulators of chromatin.
