Description:I was doing crystallography of bacterial and phage proteins. What ever i knew about epigenetic control was long outdated. I needed a comprehensive introduction and review on this field. This book was an excellent starter for me. It gave an excellent introduction and why's and how's of epigenetic control of eukaryotic genome and its mechanisms. I am now eagerly waiting for a second edition with all the updates that has happened in the last 10 years.
