Figure 2
Comparison of ChIP-seq and ChIP-chip. Representative signals from ChIP-seq (solid line) and ChIP-chip (dashed line) show both greater dynamic range and higher resolution with ChIP-seq. Whereas three binding peaks are identified using ChIP-seq, only one broad peak is detected using ChIP-chip.
