The field of epigenetics has gained great momentum in recent years
and is now a rapidly advancing field of biological and medical
research. Epigenetic changes play a key role in normal development
as well as in disease. The editor of this book has assembled
top-quality scientists from diverse fields of epigenetics to
produce a major new volume on current epigenetics research. In this
book the molecular mechanisms and biological processes in which
epigenetic modifications play a primordial role are described in
detail. The first seven chapters describe the different biological
mechanisms of the epigenetic machinery including: DNA methylation,
histone tails, chromatin structure, nucleosome occupancy, Polycomb
group proteins, siRNAs and miRNAs. The following chapters cover the
epigenetic systems of plants, the epigenetic profile of embryonic
stem cells, cell differentiation, imprinting marks, and random X
chromosome inactivation. Further chapters deal with epigenetics in
relation to cancers, premature aging, longevity and the
developmental origins of disease. The final chapter, describes the
fascinating potential transfer of epigenetic information across
generations. This up-to-date volume is a major resource for those
working in the field and will stimulate readers of all levels to
dive into the fascinating and fast moving field of epigenetics.
