General description
Collection of protocols is designed to analyze the relationship between chromatin structure and function, and to elucidate molecular mechanisms that control vital cellular functions such as transcription, replication, recombination, and DNA repair. Methods cover topics from cell-free systems for the constitution of chromatin heterogeneity in vitro, to techniques for in vivo analysis of protein–DNA interactions. Methods include instructions to ensure successful replication and to avoid pitfalls.
