The “Gene Regulation, Epigenetics and Hormone Signaling” book from John Wiley and Sons Ltd has been added to Research and Markets’ offering.
The first of its kind, this reference gives a comprehensive but concise introduction to epigenetics before covering the many interactions between hormone regulation and epigenetics at all levels. The contents are very well structured with no overlaps between chapters, and each one features supplementary material for use in presentations. Throughout, major emphasis is placed on pathological conditions, aiming at the many physiologists and developmental biologists who are familiar with the importance and mechanisms of hormone regulation but have a limited background in epigenetics.
Key Topics Covered:
1 Eukaryotic Gene Expression by RNA Polymerase II
2 Epigenetic Code: Histone Modification, Gene Regulation, and Chromatin Dynamics
3 Histone Lysine Methylation, Demethylation, and Hormonal Gene Regulation
4 The Role of HATs and HDACs in Cell Physiology and Disease
5 The Short and Medium Stories of Noncoding RNAs: microRNA and siRNA
6 Long Noncoding RNA (lncRNA): Functions in Health and Disease
7 Histone Variants: Structure, Function, and Implication in Diseases
8 Genomic Imprinting in Mammals: Origin and Complexity of an Epigenetically Regulated Phenomenon
9 Centromere and Kinetochore: Essential Components for Chromosome Segregation
10 Nuclear Receptors and NR-coregulators: Mechanism of Action and Cell Signaling
