| Summary: | Reviews the technologically-driven study of the oganismal epigenome and associated translational impacts on future prognosis, diagnosis and therapies of disease. With next-generation sequencing technologies shaping our current knowledge of the role of epigenetics in normal development, aging, and disease, Epigenomics in Health and Disease discusses the consequences for diagnostics, prognostics, and disease-based therapies made possible by the study of the complete set of epigenetic modifications to the genetic material of human cells. Chapters also explore the latest findings of epigenome-wade research in disease-based profiling, epidemiological implications, epigenome-wide epigenetic studies, the cancer epigenome, and other pervasive disease categories. With coverage pertinent both to basic biology and translational research, Epigenomics in Health and Disease will be of particular interest for medical and bioscience researches and students seeking current translational knowledge in epigenesis and epigenomics. Key Features Critical reviews provide the means for reviewing and analyzing the epigenome as a whole as well as its translational potential Combines basic epigenomic knowledge with methodological and biostatistical topics related to technology and date analysis Includes coverage of relatively new topics including DNA methylation dynamics during development and differentiation, genome-wide histone post-translational modifications during development and differentiation, and genome-wide DNA methylation changes during aging. |
