By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: New York : Garland Science / Taylor & Francis Group, c.2015.Edition: 2nd edDescription: xxi, 505 p. : ill. ; 28 cmISBN:
  • 9780815345039 (alk. paper)
  • 0815345038 (alk. paper)
Subject(s): Genre/Form: DDC classification:
  • 572.865 LAT 22
Contents:
Levels of gene control -- Structure of chromatin -- Epigenome : role of chromatin structure in gene control -- Process of transcription -- Transcription factors and transcription control -- Post-transcriptional processes -- Post-transcriptional regulation -- Gene control and cellular signaling pathways -- Gene control in embryonic development -- Control of cell type specific gene expression -- Gene regulation and cancer -- Gene regulation in human disease -- Conclusion and future prospects.
Summary: The new edition of Gene Control has been updated to include significant advances in the roles of the epigenome and regulatory RNAs in gene regulation. The chapter structure remains the same: the first part consists of pairs of chapters that explain the mechanisms involved and how they regulate gene expression, and the second part deals with specific biological processes (including diseases) and how they are controlled by genes. Coverage of methodology has been strengthened by the inclusion more explanation and diagrams. The significant revision and updating will allow Gene Control to continue to be of value to students, scientists and clinicians interested in the topic of gene control.
