Rapid progress in mapping nuclear receptor binding sites, referred to as "location analysis," has recently been achieved through the use of chromatin immunoprecipitation approaches. Location analysis can be performed on a single locus or cover a complete genome, and the resulting datasets can be probed to identify direct target genes and/or investigate the molecular mechanisms by which nuclear receptors control gene expression. In addition, when coupled with other genetic and functional genomics investigative methods, location analysis has proven to be a powerful tool with which to identify novel biological functions of nuclear receptors and build transcriptional regulatory networks. Thus, the knowledge gained from several recent chromatin immunoprecipitation-based studies has challenged basic concepts of nuclear receptor action, offered new insights into gene-regulatory mechanisms, and led to the identification of nuclear receptor-controlled biological functions.
