Abstract

Waarom bereikt de kettingroker met overgewicht een hoge leeftijd, terwijl iemand die fanatiek op zijn gezondheid let, al vroeg sterft? Hoe komt het dat mensen en apen zo van elkaar verschillen, terwijl zij genetisch vrijwel identiek zijn? Waarom wordt tijdens de zwangerschap al de basis gelegd voor de latere persoonlijkheid van een kind? Deze en vele andere vragen kunnen dankzij de epigenetica worden beantwoord. Zij komt tot een revolutionaire conclusie: de genetische code, ons DNA, bepaalt niet alles. De activiteiten van de genen laten zich sturen en niet in de laatste plaats door hoe wij leven. Wij hebben dus een ongekende macht over ons lichamelijk en geestelijk welzijn en over die van onze kinderen.

Abstract

Epigenetic modifications comprise heritable gene expression changes that occur without alteration of the DNA sequence and 'co-act' with genetic factors to shape development processes and evolutionary trajectories. Multicellular organisms receive different types of environmental stimuli/stresses that trigger epigenetic modifications during development. These environmentally driven mechanisms represent an underlying cause of phenotypic diversity, especially in metazoans. This book aims to present some of the latest epigenetic insights into the development of metazoans (including humans) as an intersection between their ecology and evolution.

Abstract

Dit opzienbarende boek toont aan hoe epigenetica ons leven onherroepelijk zal veranderen. Waarom laat de Hongerwinter van 1944-1945 in Nederland nog altijd zijn sporen na? Heeft roken op je zeventiende een invloed op je zwangerschap tien jaar later? En is er toch nog hoop voor leukemie en alzheimer? We hebben allemaal geleerd dat we onze genen hebben geërfd van onze ouders, en dat die onveranderlijk zijn. Epigenetisch onderzoek bewijst echter dat je levensstijl en je omgeving je genetische code kunnen veranderen. Richard Francis verdiepte zich in de recentste ontdekking van de epigenetica en ontsluiert zo een van de laatste mysteries van de erfelijkheid.

Abstract

This book reviews a novel and exciting field of cellular and molecular biology called epitranscriptomics, which focuses on changes in an organism’s cells resulting from the posttranscriptional modification of cellular RNA. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play a crucial role in these posttranscriptional modifications and also support several cellular processes necessary for maintaining RNA homeostasis. Exploring the mechanisms underlying RNA modifications and RBP function is an emerging area of biomedical research, taking the study of gene regulation a step beyond epigenetics. This book reveals that the RNA molecule is not just an information-carrying molecule with some secondary structures. Accordingly, how RNA is modified, regulated, packaged, and controlled is an important aspect. Leading experts address questions such as where the over 170 distinct posttranscriptional RNA modifications are located on the genome, what percentage of mRNAs and noncoding RNAs these modifications include, and how an RNA modification impacts a person’s biology. In closing, the book reviews the role of RNA modifications and RBPs in a variety of diseases and their pathogenesis. Addressing some of the most exciting challenges in epitranscriptomics, this book provides a valuable and engaging resource for researchers in academia and industry studying the phenomena of RNA modification.

Abstract

This open access textbook leads the reader from basic concepts of chromatin structure and function and RNA mechanisms to the understanding of epigenetics, imprinting, regeneration and reprogramming. The textbook treats epigenetic phenomena in animals, as well as plants. Written by four internationally known experts and senior lecturers in this field, it provides a valuable tool for Master- and PhD- students who need to comprehend the principles of epigenetics, or wish to gain a deeper knowledge in this field. After reading this book, the student will: Have an understanding of the basic toolbox of epigenetic regulation; Know how genetic and epigenetic information layers are interconnected; Be able to explain complex epigenetic phenomena by understanding the structures and principles of the underlying molecular mechanisms; Understand how misregulated epigenetic mechanisms can lead to disease.
