Zygotic Genome Activation: Methods and Protocols

by Matthew C. Good (Editor)

Overview

This volume details cutting-edge techniques used to gain new and deeper insights on the fundamental regulation of zygotic genome activation( ZGA). Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, the chapters include brief introductions to the material, lists of necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and a Notes section which highlights tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

 

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Zygotic Genome Activation: Methods and Protocols aims to serve as a practical reference for researchers interested in early development and genome activation.
