Epigenetic Toxicology: Core Principles and Applications

Epigenetic Toxicology: Core Principles and Applications examines epigenetics, including chromatin biology, DNA methylation and non-coding RNA, along with fundamental techniques and considerations for studying each of these mechanisms of epigenetic regulation. Epigenetics have taken center stage in the study of diseases, such as cancer, diabetes and neurodegeneration. However, the integration of epigenetics in the field of toxicology is still in its infancy. This book presents unified, practical and easy to follow protocols to help improve their effectiveness and efficiency. In addition, it includes online protocols (as PDFs) to help increase practical applicability and facilitate incorporation of epigenetics into toxicology research programs.It is an essential book for advanced students and researchers using epigenetics in toxicology research and study.
