Two-parameter single-molecule analysis for measurement of chromatin mobility

Summary: This protocol provides a two-parameter analysis of single-molecule tracking (SMT) trajectories of Halo-tagged histones in living adherent cell lines and unveils a chromatin mobility landscape composed of five chromatin types, ranging from low to high mobility. When the analysis is applied t...

Description
Summary:Summary: This protocol provides a two-parameter analysis of single-molecule tracking (SMT) trajectories of Halo-tagged histones in living adherent cell lines and unveils a chromatin mobility landscape composed of five chromatin types, ranging from low to high mobility. When the analysis is applied to Halo-tagged, chromatin-binding proteins, it associates chromatin interaction properties with known functions in a way that previously used SMT parameters did not.For complete information on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Lerner et al.
