This open access textbook leads the reader from basic concepts of chromatin structure and function and RNA mechanisms to the understanding of epigenetics, imprinting, regeneration and reprogramming.
The textbook treats epigenetic phenomena in animals, as well as plants. Written by four internationally known experts and senior lecturers in this field, it provides a valuable tool for Master- and PhD- students who need to comprehend the principles of epigenetics, or wish to gain a deeper knowledge in this field.
After reading this book, the student will:
- Have an understanding of the basic toolbox of epigenetic regulation
- Know how genetic and epigenetic information layers are interconnected
- Be able to explain complex epigenetic phenomena by understanding the structures and principles of the underlying molecular mechanisms
- Understand how misregulated epigenetic mechanisms can lead to disease
Renato Paro received his Ph.D. at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel. After postdoctoral stays at the University of Edinburgh and Stanford University, he continued his career at the Center for Molecular Biology of the University of Heidelberg (ZMBH) in Germany. In 2000 became Professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Biosciences of the University of Heidelberg and acting director of the ZMBH.
In 2006 he was appointed founding chair of the new Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) of the ETH Zurich in Basel and Professor of Biosystems at the University of Basel. The major research areas of his laboratory focused on mechanisms of epigenetic gene control and cellular signaling. He is now Emeritus Professor.
