====DNA/Protein interactions====
{{Main|ChIP sequencing}}
Proteins formed by the translation of the mRNA (messenger RNA, a coded information from DNA for protein synthesis) play a major role in regulating gene expression. To understand how they regulate gene expression it is necessary to identify DNA sequences that they interact with. Techniques have been developed to identify sites of DNA-protein interactions. These include [[ChIP-sequencing]], [[CUT&RUN sequencing]] and Calling Cards.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Wang H, Mayhew D, Chen X, Johnston M, Mitra RD | title = Calling Cards enable multiplexed identification of the genomic targets of DNA-binding proteins | journal = Genome Research | volume = 21 | issue = 5 | pages = 748–55 | date = May 2011 | pmid = 21471402 | doi = 10.1101/gr.114850.110 | pmc = 3083092 }}</ref>
