A bird's-eye view of MeCP2 binding
Abstract
In this issue of Molecular Cell, work from Skene, Bird, and colleagues reexamines MeCP2 function in the brain by characterizing the abundance and distribution of MeCP2 protein in mouse neurons and its role in regulating chromatin structure (Skene et al., 2010).
