Proteins that mediate silencing affect all of these nuclear processes. Similarly proteins involved in replication, repair, and chromosome structure play a role in the formation and maintenance of silenced heterochromatin. In this chapter we describe a handful of simple tools and methods that can be used to study the atypical role of proteins in gene silencing.
