Abstract We have used a chromatin immunoprecipitation-microarray ChIP-array approach to investigate the in vivo targets of heat-shock factor Hsf in Drosophila embryos. We show that this method identifies Hsf target sites with high fidelity and resolution. Using cDNA arrays in a genomic search for Hsf targets we identified 141 genes with highly significant ChIP enrichment. This study firmly establishes the potential of ChIP-array for whole-genome transcription factor target mapping in vivo using intact whole organisms. Background Chromatin immunoprecipitation or more correctly immunopurification ChIP has emerged as a valuable approach for identifying the in vivo binding sites of transcription factors 1-6 . Before the availability of complete genome sequence the use of this approach for identifying transcription targets on a genome-wide scale was however limited. Over the past few years a number of laboratories have successfully used .
