The ability of a single genome to give rise to hundreds of functionally distinct cell type programs is in itself remarkable. Pioneering studies over the past few decades have demonstrated that this plasticity is retained throughout development, a phenomenon of epigenetic programming and reprogramming that remains one of the most fascinating areas of modern biology, with major relevance to human health and disease. This book presents the basic biology involved, including key mechanistic insights into this rapidly growing field.

Die Epigenetik entmachtet unsere Gene? Oder doch nicht? Epigenetik meint: Biochemische Molekule interagieren zeitlebens mit der DNA in unseren Zellen und steuern in komplexer Vernetzung unser Erbgut: Entwicklung, Wachstum, aber auch Krankheiten und sogar unsere Psyche unterliegen epigenetischen Einflussen. Die Umwelt und unsere Lebensweise spielen dabei eine groae Rolle und verandern das -Epigenetische- in uns. Die Epigenetik verlangt uns neue Sichtweisen ab, nicht nur in der Biologie, sondern interdisziplinar: Wie verandert das -epigenetische Denken- unser Bild von unseren Genen, vom...
