Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene function that occur without a change in the sequence of the DNA. The main components of the epigenetic code are DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs. The epigenetic programs are established as stem cell differentiate during embryogenesis, and they are normally faithfully reproduced during mitosis. Moreover, they can also be maintained during meiosis, resulting in epigenetic transgenerational disease inheritance, and also potentially introducing phenotypic variation that is selected for in the evolution of new species. The objective of this book is to provide evidence that environmental exposures during early development can alter the risk of developing medical conditions, such as asthma, autism, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and schizophrenia later in life by modifying the epigenome. | | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | | 关键词 | Agouti mouse; CTCF dysfunction; chromatin switching; endocrine disruptors; environmental aromatic hydroc | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-23380-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-42728-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-23380-7Series ISSN 2191-2262 Series E-ISSN 2191-2270 | | issn_series | 2191-2262 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013 |
