From the reviews of the second edition: "This book contains a collection of detailed and useful procedures concerning chromatin analysis. It includes methods for the isolation and assembly of nucleosomes, the analysis of basic chromatin structure, the covalent modification of histones and the analysis of chromatin function. ... In summary, this is a very useful text, with lots of strengths ... ." (Ray Waters, Human Genetics, Vol. 126, 2009)
