Epigenetics: Principles of Eukaryotic Genome Control
Epigenetics Principles of Eukaryotic Genome Control Author:Fyodor Urnov, Alan P. Wolffe 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 ... more »chromosome inactivation, and DNA methylation, with specific examples from model systems and clear explication of experimental methods. Key features include:
Provides a cutting edge review of the concepts, findings, and techniques in this exciting field
Highlights relationship to development of cancer and other human diseases throughout
Presents an extensive annotated bibliography
Written at a technical level suitable for anyone with an introductory knowledge of genetics and biochemistry
Integrates classical and molecular viewpoints
Summarizes major methods of molecular genetic analysis
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.« less
