Role of genome organisation as a basic platform of different epigenetic phenomena in the pathophysiological context

Epigenetic regulation of transcription Epigenetic contribution in development

Epigenetic mechanisms of important diseases such as diabetes, AIDS, Alzheimer?s disease, malaria and cancer Furthermore, the book has also revealed the epigenetic phenomena as target of new generation therapeutics
