TaDa! Analysing cell type-specific chromatin in vivo with Targeted DamID.

abstract：:Rhythms are a prominent signature of brain activity. Their expression is correlated with numerous examples of healthy information processing and their fluctuations are a marker of disease states. Yet, their causal or epiphenomenal role in brain function is still highly debated. We review recent studies showing brain r...
