Epigenetics

Epigenetics: Principles of Eukaryotic Genome Control provides an integration of classical and molecular genetic perspectives to highlight underlying principles of gene and genome control in eukaryotes, with an emphasis on relevance for human disease. Among epigenetic phenomena discussed in this thorough treatment are imprinting, X chromosome inactivation, and DNA methylation, with specific examples from model systems and clear explication of experimental methods. Epigenetics: Principles of Eukaryotic Genome Control is an indispensable addition to the bookshelf of any advanced undergraduate and graduate student in genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry.
