✦ Synopsis

Principles of Epigenetics examines various dimensions of epigenetics and its relationship with the human diseases. It includes three different parts, where part 1 deals with Epigenetics in Human diseases, part II talks about Yeast Epigenetics and part III highlights plant epigenetics. Provide the reader with the insights into the development of epigenetics, so as to understand the importance and role of epigenetics in various human and fatal disorders or diseases.
