Epigenetics refers to heritable patterns of gene expression
which do not depend on alterations of genomic DNA sequence.
This book provides a state-of-the-art account of a few selected
hot spots by scientists at the edge in this extremely active field.
It puts special emphasis on two main streams of research. One is
the role of post-translational modifications of proteins, mostly
histones, on chromatin structure and accessibility. The other one
deals with parental genomic imprinting, a process which allows to
express a few selected genes from only one of the parental allele
while extinguishing the other.
