New technique efficiently offers insight into gene regulation
image: MAbID in a nutshell. Left: antibodies, each binding a specific histone modification or protein, are merged with individual cells. After these antibodies have bound, a small barcode is attached to the adjacent DNA using the MAbID procedure. Right: these barcodes are then read, allowing the location of each histone modification on the DNA to…
