Abstract excerpt
Recently, frequent somatic mutations at histone genes have been detected in high grade pediatric brain tumor, chondroblastoma, and giant cell tumor of bone. These mutant histones are also termed oncohistones. Since oncohistone proteins co-exist with wild type histone proteins in cells, it is critically important to understand how they promote tumorigenesis. Here, we describe two methods to analyze the impact of...
