Overview

Epigenetics can have a significant impact on human health and disease susceptibility. Over the past few years, significant progress has occurred in this rapidly advancing field, and much key research has been published. This book has gathered together pioneers in the field of epigenetics to produce thought-provoking discussions on classic aspects of epigenetics and on the newer emerging areas. It includes topics on the impact of metabolism on the epigenome, how our actions may impact the health of our offspring several generations removed, and how exposure to environmental toxicants can have long-lasting effects on our epigenome with devastating consequences. This up-to-date volume is a major resource essential for those working in the field and is recommended reading for anyone new to this fascinating and fast-moving area of research. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO [Subject: Microbiology, Epigenetics, Life Science

this is one text you don't want to miss. It covers a wide breadth of topics ranging from DNA methylation to Chromatin to ncRNA, with insight from across the tree of life and related human disorders. The perspective is modern from both the aspects of fundamental biology and technical breakthroughs, offering up the latest insights into the molecular players of the epigenome from the pioneering experts themselves. from Epigenie (2015) provides the reader with up-to-date information in a specific set of chromatinlinked proteins and diseases as a well-exampled epigenetic research. It also provides a summary of the most recent progress on the epigenetic mechanisms such as nucleosome dynamics, long noncoding RNA, and metabolic and environmental effects ... For anyone who wants to catch up on the chromatin research field, Epigenetics: Current Research and Emerging Trends is a good place to start. from ChemMedChem (2016) 11: 142.
