Without presuming to undertake a full development of this important idea, I will hazard a few general observations, which may perhaps place it in a clearer light, and enable us to form a more correct judgment of the principles and structure of the government planned by the convention. TO what expedient then shall we finally resort for maintaining in practice the necessary partition of power among the several departments, as laid down in the constitution? The only answer that can be given is, that as all these exterior provisions are found to be inadequate, the defect must be supplied, by so contriving the interior structure of the government, as that its several constituent parts may, by their mutual relations, be the means of keeping each other in their proper places.

Even though it was really long I finished it in just three days, and would highly recommend it. It was really gripping and entertaining, with funny bits as well.

To simplify the procedure and to be able to apply the ChIP assay to reduced number of embryos, we re-evaluated the protocol for preparation of embryonic chromatin destined to ChIP. ChIP assays used in these studies are cumbersome and conventionally require relatively large number of embryos. The increasing importance of the zebrafish, Danio rerio, as a model organism in functional genomics has recently sparked investigations of ChIP-based genome-scale mapping of modified histones on promoters, and studies on the role of specific transcription factors in developmental processes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is arguably the assay of choice to determine the genomic localization of DNA- or chromatin-binding proteins, including post-translationally modified histones, in cells. |
