Handbook of epigenetics : the new molecular and medical genetics /

Mostrar otras versiones (3)

Epigenetics is considered by many to be the "new genetics" because the realization that many biological phenomena are controlled not through gene mutations, but rather through reversible and heritable epigenetic processes that have opened up new paths for discovery. The biological processe...
