The Nucleolus

This volume provides an up-to-date compilation of current methodological approaches utilized for the exploration of nucleolar structure and function.Chapters cover a diversity of protocols that include imaging of the nucleolus, analysis of ribosomal RNA transcription and processing, and genomics and proteomics of the nucleolus. 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.

Authoritative and practical, The Nucleolus: Methods and Protocols provides scientists with a reliable practical handbook to facilitate the investigation of this nuclear compartment at the advanced level.
