This volume explores the latest techniques used to study and understand chromatin reprogramming in embryos and germ cells. Various culture systems are presented, which consist of invaluable tools to investigate many developmental processes. This book also looks at methods for direct examination of DNA, RNA, and proteins in embryos, along with low-input and single-cell assays for exploring these features at the genome-wide scale. 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 troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Cutting-edge and thorough, Epigenetics Reprogramming During Mouse Embryogenesis: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for any scientist and researcher looking to make new discoveries in this fascinating field of chromatin reprogramming.
