Project description:DAF-12 is involved in development, dauer formation, and aging in Caenorhabditis elegans. To understand how DAF-12 is involved in these biologic processes, we performed chIP-chip using a DAF-12:TAP transgene and an anti-DAF-12 antibody. We identified 1175 genomic binding sites which were located within 5 kb of 3179 genes. These genes include known DAF-12 target genes as well as new genes involved in developmental timing, microRNA function, and stress resistance. The supplemental BED file contains all 1175 genomic binding sites described in our work.
