Description
This comprehensive textbook introduces readers to the fundamental concepts and mechanisms underlying epigenetics. Covering topics from chromatin structure and RNA functions to epigenetic regulation, imprinting, regeneration, and reprogramming in both animals and plants.
Written by four leading experts in the field, this open access book provides a valuable resource for students and researchers seeking to understand the principles of epigenetics. Upon completion, readers will gain a thorough understanding of how genetic and epigenetic information interact, enabling them to explain complex epigenetic phenomena and appreciate the consequences of misregulated mechanisms.
With its in-depth exploration of molecular mechanisms and their applications, this textbook is an essential resource for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge of epigenetics.
