ChIA-PET... [I Love Springtime]

...No, this not the same thing as "Chia Pet", despite what Google would have you believe.

Enter "ChIA-PET" into the Google search bar and the first two pages are filled with nothing but entries related to the familiar terracotta figurines used to sprout chia.

Search Google Images and you come up with a lot of images like this...


Not even close. No cigar and no Richard Simmons work-out video for Google.

So what the hell is ChIA-PET, you ask.

[b]ChIA-PET[/b] (or ChIA-PETS) is an acronym for Chromatin Interaction Analysis by Paired-End Tag Sequencing, which is [i]"a technique that incorporates chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-based enrichment, chromatin proximity ligation, Paired-End Tags, and High-throughput sequencing to determine de novo long-range chromatin interactions genome-wide". [/i]

Fascinating stuff, eh? Ch-Ch-Ch-ChIA!

Also, Happy May Day.
