CHIP primers - rat ROCK1 (May/13/2009 )

Dear all,

I have to do some CHIP QPCRs to check the Histone acetylation. I am not familiar with the primer design on the promoter region. As far as I know, primer design is a crucial part on the CHIP QPCR. Could any one please help me on primer design?

Gene-rat ROCK1
Accession no-NM 031098.1

Here you go.

A 500 bp promoter sequence (very CpG rich)

Thanks a lot pcrman

Hi Pcrman,

What software did you use for designing these primers?
Thanks

The primers were designed using Primer3. You can use any program to design ChIP primers. The important thing is that you need to decide which region of your gene you want to examine.

Hi pcrman, how do i determine which region is the promoter sequence from the sequence I obtained from fasta format?

would you please let us know how did you determine the promoter region. and can i use Primer Express from ABI to generate CHIP primers?
There is one databse in the following link. Is this good?
