This volume provides a comprehensive list of protocols for molecular biologists, biochemists and geneticists. Chapters cover protocols that further the study into protein complexes that modify chromatin either by adding or removing post-translational modifications, or by exchanging histone variants within the nucleosome. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Histones: Methods and Protocols aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
