3. Reverse cross-linking and recover
3. Reverse cross-linking and recover ChIP DNA
  <nowiki> a. Incubate bead pellet from step 2.f above in a 65°C water bath for 1 hour, shake or vortex
      every 15 minutes to elute the immuno-bound chromatin from the beads.
  b. Spin at 14,000 rpm in a microfuge at room temperature for 3 minutes.
  c. Collect the supernatant, which contains the ChIP’d DNA. The tubes can be placed on the
      magnet to facilitate supernatant recovery.
  d. Incubate the supernatant containing the ChIP’d DNA in a 65°C water bath overnight to
      complete the reversal of the formaldehyde cross-links.</nowiki>
