Abstract

We demonstrate the use of a chromosomal walk (or "tiling path") printed as DNA microarrays for mapping protein-DNA interactions across large regions of contiguous genomic DNA in Drosophila melanogaster. Microarrays were constructed with genomic DNA fragments 430-920 bp in length, covering 2.9 million base pairs of the Adh-cactus region of chromosome 2 and 85,000 base pairs of the 82F region of chromosome 3. We performed DNA localization mapping for the heterochromatin protein HP1 and for the sequence-specific GAGA transcription factor, producing a comprehensive, high-resolution map of in vivo protein-DNA interactions throughout these regions of the Drosophila genome.
