Analyses of plant chromatin and in vivo protein-DNA interactions

  • Chapter

  • 1090 Accesses

Abstract

It is increasingly apparent that gene function is influenced by a variety of constituents, only a few of which are effectively mimicked by in vitro analyses with linear, cloned pieces of genes. A diverse compliment of proteinacious interactions affect the structure and subsequent function of genes in the cell. The association between this compliment of proteins and the eukaryotic genome is referred to as chromatin.
