Quantifying the global binding and target-search dynamics of epigenetic regulatory factors using live-cell single-molecule tracking

Summary: This protocol provides instructions to track the global dynamics of single epigenetic regulatory factors in live cells. We describe an approach to generate cell lines that stably express HaloTag-fused proteins. We then use live-cell single-molecule tracking to obtain kinetic populations and...
