Chromatin: Structure, Function, and History brings the reader up to date on the remarkable progress made in chromatin research over the course of the past 50 years. Coverage includes the basics of chromatin biology, beginning with the discoveries that culminated in the recognition of the nucleosome as the basic subunit of chromatin. Chromatin folding, nucleosome positioning, and histone variants are discussed, as well as research on chromatin modifications and remodeling, which exploded in the early to mid-1990s and led to widespread interest in epigenetics. Considerable attention is given to methods and experiments that led to key insights, and recent developments such as the use of genome-wide approaches and innovations in imaging approaches are also emphasized. By providing historical background together with detailed discussion of contemporary studies, the book aims to instill in the reader an appreciation not only of our current knowledge of chromatin structure and function, but also of the remarkable path that has taken chromatin to the forefront of modern research.

Randall H. Morse's interest in chromatin originated with an undergraduate course in molecular genetics in 1975. After finishing his graduate studies in biophysical chemistry at Caltech, Dr. Morse worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University and the National Institutes of Health. He continued to conduct research on chromatin and transcription in his own lab at the Wadsworth Center in Albany, New York. Additionally, he has taught chromatin structure and function to graduate students in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University at Albany School of Public Health since 1994. Dr. Morse has contributed his expertise and research on chromatin structure and function to numerous conferences. Furthermore, he has written articles and reviews on this subject and has received several competitive grants to fund his research.
Chromatin: Structure, Function and History brings the reader up-to-date on the remarkable progress made in chromatin research. Coverage includes the basics of chromatin biology, particularly early work on chromatin structure and function, followed by review of research done since the early nineties, particularly on chromatin modifications and chromatin remodeling, which has led to the explosion of interest in epigenetics. The fundamentals of chromatin structure and biochemistry and the enzyme complexes that manage it are thoroughly addressed, and considerable attention is given to genome-wide approaches to its study. The book provides the reader with a concise and coherent account of the nature, structure, and assembly of chromatin and its active involvement in the processes of DNA transcription, replication and repair. By consistently interrelating the structure of eukaryotic DNA with the nuclear processes it undergoes, this volume becomes essential reading for researchers and students who want to really understand how DNA works.
