ChIP-seq has numerous applications in pediatric research, including:
Gene Regulation: Identifying the regulatory elements and understanding how gene expression is controlled during child development. Cancer Research: Understanding the aberrant transcription factor binding in pediatric cancers like leukemia and neuroblastoma. Epigenetics: Studying the role of histone modifications and other epigenetic marks in pediatric diseases. Developmental Disorders: Investigating the genetic and epigenetic factors contributing to developmental delays and congenital anomalies.
