In the last few years, significant breakthroughs in transcription research has expanded our appreciation for the complexity of molecular controls on gene expression in mammalian cells.
This book describes state-of-the-art approaches that investigators can use to probe critical mechanisms underlying transcription factor nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking as well as to assess the functional impact of post-translational modifications on transcription factor function.
