A chromEM-staining protocol optimized for cardiac tissue
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Three-dimensional (3D) chromatin organization has a key role in defining the transcription program of cells during development. Its alteration is the cause of gene expression changes responsible for several diseases. Thus, we need new tools to study this
