This volume contains cutting-edge techniques to study the function of enhancers and promoters in depth. Chapters are divided into six sections and describe enhancer-promoter transcripts, nucleosome occupancy, DNA accessibility, chromatin interactions, protein-DNA interactions, functional analyses, and DNA methylation assays. Written in the Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include comprehensive introductions, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step laboratory protocols, and useful suggestions for troubleshooting. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Enhancers and Promoters: Methods and Protocols is a useful guide for future experiments. Chapters 4 and 11 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
