The Eukaryotic Nucleus Molecular Biochemistry and Macromolecular Assemblies, Volume II

This series provides, in two volumes, a complete and exhaustive review of the subject of the eukaryotic nucleus, the site of the DNA. The focus of the book is how the information in the DNA is transcribed, accessed and maintained.
