The Nucleolus Methods and Protocols [Hardcover]

This volume provides an up-to-date compilationof current methodological approaches utilized for the exploration of nucleolarstructure and function. Chapters covera diversity of protocols that include imaging of the nucleolus, analysis ofribosomal RNA transcription and processing, and genomics and proteomics of thenucleolus. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology seriesformat, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of thenecessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratoryprotocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

 

Authoritative and practical, The Nucleolus: Methods and Protocols provides scientists with a reliable practicalhandbook to facilitate the investigation of this nuclear compartment at theadvanced level.
