《Epigenetic Biomarkers and Diagnostics》Garcia-Gimenez, Jose Luis著

《Epigenetic Biomarkers and Diagnostics》Garcia-Gimenez, Jose Luis著 Epigenetic Biomarkers and Diagnostics comprises 32 chapters contributed by leading active researchers in clinical epigenetics. The book is divided in 3 sections which starts with the basis of epigenetic mechanisms and describes epigenetic biomarkers that can be used in clinical diagnostics and prognostics. The second section refers to the importance of the sample quality and ethical issues in clinical epigenetics. The third section concludes with an account of the technologies and methods to discover and analyze epigenetic biomarkers. Epigenetic Biomarkers and Diagnostics describes the challenging aspects of epigenetic research and current findings regarding new epigenetic elements and modifiers. Furthermore, this book provides guidance for researchers interested in the most advanced technologies and methodologies used in clinical diagnosis or prognosis of disease. Included within is a special section discussing the relevance of biobanks in the maintenance of high quality biosamples and clinical-associated data, and the relevance of the ethical aspects in epigenetic studies. ta7r|100[/pan]
