The cistrome is the set of cistrons within a genome.[1] A cistron in turn is a type of gene which contains a cis-acting target (DNA binding site) of a trans-acting factor (transcription factor, pioneer factor, restriction enzyme, etc.). The term cistrome is a portmanteau of cistron + genome and was coined by investigators at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School.[2]

Technologies such as chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with microarray "ChIP-on-chip" or with massively parallel DNA sequencing "ChIP-Seq" have greatly facilitated the definition of the cistrome of transcription factors and other chromatin associated proteins.
