Beschreibung:
Epigenetics is a rapidly expanding field in medical and biological research which concerns heritable traits that are not attributable to changes in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms play key roles in many biological processes, and it has become clear that their disruption can gives rise to diverse pathologies in humans. Edited by preeminent experts, Sophie Rousseaux and Saadi Khochbin, this volume in the 'Epigenetics and Human Health' series discusses the role of epigenetics in human reproduction

Preface - B. Jegou.- Part 1 - Medical aspects and questions raised on the molecular basis of epigenome involvement in reproduction.- Part 2 - Fundamental aspects of genome and epigenome reprogramming during gametogenesis.- Part 3 - Re-organization of nuclear compartments during gametogenesis.- Part 4 - Fundamental aspects of gene expression regulation during gametogenesis.- Subject index.
The rapidly expanding field of epigenetics examines heritable traits that are not attributable to changes in the DNA sequence. Edited by two preeminent experts, this volume is part of a wider series and analyzes the role of epigenetics in human reproduction.
