Review

From a Review of the First Edition "Carefully constructed and both easy and enjoyable to read. The layout is excellent, with nicely balanced sections. An ideal starting point for any appropriate advanced undergraduate course of for graduates wishing to delve more deeply into the mysteries of chromatin structure and function." -TRENDS IN CELL BIOLOGY

From the Back Cover

Chromatin is the basic structural matrix of the eukaryotic chromosome and understanding its structure and function is essential to fully comprehend the mechanisms of gene regulation and the replication and recombination of DNA in higher organisms.
This Third Edition ofChromatin: Structure and Function brings the reader up-to-date with the remarkable progress in chromatin research over the past three years. It has been extensively rewritten to cover new material on chromatin remodeling, histone modification, nuclear compartmentalization, DNA methylation, and transcriptional co-activators and co-repressors. Also featured in this third edition are 60 new illustrations.
Written in a clear and concise fashion, Chromatin: Structure and Function is essential reading for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and newcomers to the fields of biochemistry, cell biology, and molecular genetics.|Chromatin is the basic structural matrix of the eukaryotic chromosome and understanding its structure and function is essential to fully comprehend the mechanisms of gene regulation and the replication and recombination of DNA in higher organisms.
