In many biological processes, the regulation of genes expression includes epigenetic mechanisms.
In the new edition of Epigenetics in 36 chapters written by leading specialists in this field, various epigenetic effects are described, explained and discussed. The book presents various molecular mechanisms that underlie epigenetic regulation, discuss cell processes that depend on this kind of regulation, and an overview of model organisms is given, in which the epigenetic effects are most studied.
All chapters of the previous publication are updated, new chapters containing information are also added
about the structure, function and dynamics of histone-modifying enzymes and histone-imperial
proteins. The individual chapters of this book are devoted to remodeling of chromatin, DNA methylation,
Small interfering RNA and repressions (self-sales) of genes, inactivation of X chromosome, dose compensation and imprinting, epigenetics of mushrooms, plants, insects and mammals.
The book considers how epigenetic mechanisms are involved in the cellular division and specifications of the cell type and how epigenetic disorders affect the development of cancer and other human diseases. In addition, the significance of epigenetics for induced pluripotence and cell reprogramming is considered. The new chapters of this publication describe the participation of epigenetic processes in the inheritance, development of neurons, metabolism and alarm, reactions of cells to the environment, as well as distant chromatin interactions, and a series of short essays illuminates important modern discoveries.
The book contains original illustrations that will help readers understand the mechanisms of epigenetic
control. The book can become a manual to study genes for students and graduate students of senior courses, as well as a necessary resource for scientists interested in this rapidly developing field
