Explores the discovery, nature, and role of genes in evolution and development.
Epigenomics: from chromatin biology to therapeutics
"Prokaryotic gene expression is not only of theoretical interest but also of highly practical significance. It has implications for other biological problems, such as developmental biology and cancer, brings insights into genetic engineering and expression systems, and has conse…

Once thought to be just a messenger that allows genetic information encoded in DNA to direct the formation of proteins, RNA (ribonucleic acid) is now known to be a highly versatile molecule that has multiple roles in cells. It can function as an enzyme, scaffold various subcellu…
Levels of gene control -- Structure of chromatin -- Role of chromatin structure in gene control -- The process of transcription -- Transcription factors and transcriptional control -- Post-transcriptional processes -- Post-transcriptional regulation -- Gene control and cellular …
"Gene Control offers an articulate, current description of how gene expression is controlled in eukaryotes, reviewing and summarizing the extensive primary literature into an easily accessible format. Gene Control will be of value to students in biological sciences, as well as t…
This detailed volume explores perspectives and methods using cell-free expression (CFE) to enable next-generation synthetic biology applications. The first section focuses on tools for CFE systems, including a primer on DNA handling and reproducibility, as well as methods for ce…
