RNA-Chromatin Interactions

This volume focuses on RNAs interacting with chromatin and their function. Chapters guide readers through transcription, splicing, non-coding RNA function and manipulation of gene expression. 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, RNA-Chromatin Interactions: Methods and Protocols aims to be a starting-point to expand researchers experimental approaches towards the numerous outstanding questions in this new and expanding field.
