Résumé

The development of specific anti-modification antibodies as research tools has revolutionized the way histone methylation is studied. Lack of stringent quality controls, however, led to the development of nonspecific antibodies, compromising their use. In this chapter, we provide a series of protocols that collectively will help those studying histone methylation to develop and thoroughly validate high-end sequence-specific and methylation-dependent antibodies.
