"This book considers the branch of heredity known as "Epigenetics" and its implications for a variety of diseases in humans and animals. After background information on the growth in understanding genetics, and discussions of the molecular mechanisms of the epigenetic control of gene expression, the book moves into the evidence connecting genetics to a range of significant illnesses"--Provided by publisher.
