ANCHOR: A Technical Approach to Monitor Single-Copy Locus Localization in Planta

Together with local chromatin structure, gene accessibility, and the presence of transcription factors, positioning is implicated in expression regulation. Although basic mechanisms are expected to be conserved eukaryotes, less known about role plant cells, mainly due lack a highly resolutive approach. In this study, we adapted use ANCHOR system perform real-time single locus detection planta . DNA-labeling tool derived from chromosome partitioning found many bacterial species. We demonstrated its suitability monitor used approach track mobility during cell differentiation Arabidopsis thaliana root epidermal cells. Finally, discussed potential investigate DNA repair plants.
