Modifications of Nuclear DNA and its Regulatory Proteins

Description

DNA methylation is essential for the normal development and functioning of organisms. This volume discusses the latest developments in this very active field of research. It presents the evolution of DNA methylation, mammalian DNA methyltransferases, DNA methylation and demethlyation, DNA methylation and silencing and the role it plays in medicine including cancer. * Discusses new discoveries, approaches, and ideas * Contributions from leading scholars and industry experts * Reference guide for researchers involved in molecular biology and related fields

  Epigenetic Gene Expression and Regulation

  By Suming Huang, Michael D Litt, C. Ann Blakey

  The book shows how these heritable mechanisms allow individual cells to establish stable and unique patterns of gene expression that can be passed through cell divisions without DNA mutations, thereby establishing how different heritable ...

  Epigenetic Mechanisms of Gene Regulation

  By Vincenzo E. A. Russo, Robert A. Martienssen, Arthur D. Riggs

  Many inheritable changes in gene function are not explained by changes in the DNA sequence. Such epigenetic mechanisms are known to influence gene function in most complex organisms and include...
