Epigenetics and Precision Medicine

This book brings together dozens of top experts in the field of epigenetics in China and abroad, including two academics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, seven winners of The National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, numerous outstanding young researchers, and experts in the Thousand Talents Plan, among others. It comprehensively and systematically expands on the latest research findings in epigenetics and precision medicine. The authors of this book combined their research findings and experience to explain concepts, mechanisms, and new technologies in epigenetic regulation and their immense prospects in the precise diagnosis and treatment of major diseases. The book also covers the fundamentals and translational research like DNA methylation, histone modification, higher-order chromatin structure, non-coding RNA, RNA modification, stem cell biology, and the epigenetics of traditional Chinese medicine.

This book can serve as an important reference text for scientists and clinicians involved in basic and clinical research in epigenetics and those who are working to overcome major diseases.
