This book offers a comprehensive look into the science of gene expression and regulation. Focusing on topics such as actions of nuclear receptors, RNA processing, and DNA methylation and imprinting, Gene Expression and Regulation is edited by a leading biologist and includes contributions by experts in the field.
● Written and compiles by world known experts, it reflects all the current issues in gene regulation, including gene transcriptor, transcription factors, activation mechanism of gene transcription, restraining mechanism, factors controlling the growth of the cell, the proteins determining the death of the cells, small RNA functions, genome alalysis, DNA supercoiling structures, research on the power of transcription factors, plant development, gene therapy and HIV, etc;
● There are altogether 35 chapters, with each chapter summing up the latest research results in one specific field. The content compiled into five parts: the history, gene transcriptor, adjusting factors, genome and special topics;
● It is suitable for postgraduates of life sciences and specialized researchers and undergraduates in relevant fields;
● Written in English and printed in color.
