Robertson Summary Recent advances in epigenetic research as well as the development of exciting new technologies have helped greatly in unraveling the many mysteries of nontraditional genetic processes. In Epigenetics Protocols, hands-on researchers describe state-of-the-art methods for epigenetic analysis, including recent breakthrough techniques that have great potential in the rapidly expanding field of non-Mendelian genetics. The authors provide techniques for the analysis of chromatin remodeling, such as histone acetylation and methylation. In addition, methods in newly developed and especially promising areas of epigenetics, such as telomere position effects, quantitative epigenetics, and ADP ribosylation are covered. There is also an updated analysis of techniques involving DNA methylation and its role in the modification, as well as the maintenance, of chromatin structure. Of special interest are potentially revolutionary techniques. These include methods for determining changes in native chromatin, methods of microarray analysis applied to epigenetics, and methylation-sensitive single-strand conformation techniques. The methods are suitable not only for studying fundamental biological processes, but also for investigating possible therapeutic interventions and such diseases as cancer. The protocols follow the successful Methods in Molecular Biology"!series format, each one offering step-by-step laboratory instructions, an introduction outlining the principle behind the technique, lists of the necessary equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Comprehensive and easy to use, Epigenetics Protocols offers investigators readily reproducible techniques that will further promote progress in this critically important field Analysis epigenetica epigenetics moleculaire genetica molecular genetics biologische technieken biological techniques protocollen protocols Molecular Genetics Moleculaire genetica Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record In Springer Protocols Subject Chromatin -- Laboratory manuals Telomere -- Laboratory manuals ADP-ribosylation -- Laboratory manuals Epigenesis -- Laboratory manuals Chromatin Assembly and Disassembly -- genetics Chromosome Structures -- metabolism DNA Methylation Epigenesis, Genetic Histone Code -- genetics Histones -- metabolism SCIENCE -- Life Sciences -- Molecular Biology.
