Epigenetic Mechanisms in Cellular Reprogramming

The ability of a single genome to give rise to hundreds of functionally distinct cell type programs is in itself remarkable.

In many biological processes the regulation of gene expression involves epigenetic mechanisms. In this new edition of Epigenetics, 36 chapters written by experts in the field introduce and explain epigenetic effects from many perspectives. These include the varied molecular mechanisms underpinning epigenetic regulation, discussion of cellular processes that rely on this kind of regulation, and surveys of model organisms in which epigenetic effects have been most studied.
