Full Description
This volume explores the latest advancements and methodologies in studying Hox genes; gene regulation; and Hox gene expression, function, and regulation in various model organisms. The chapters in this book cover topics such as high-resolution imaging and gene editing, bioinformatics approaches ad chromatin analysis, Spatial technology (Curio), ChIP-Seq, and ATAC-Seq. There are also chapters on data analysis, variant calling, gene expression analysis using SmFISH, and microscopy-based approaches to study HOX gene function. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on trouble shooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Cutting-edge and comprehensive, HOX Genes: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for the researchers in fields of biochemistry, developmental biology, molecular biology, and biomedicine. This book also shows scientists and researchers the critical roles that Hox genes play in development, evolution, and utility as model systems for studying basic molecular biology.
