Epigenetics: How Environment Changes Your Biology

Epigenetics: How Environment Changes Your Biology

Taught by physician-scientist Dr. Charlotte Mykura, this course introduces the science of epigenetics, which goes together with genetics to explain physiology, heritability, disease, and every other aspect of living cells. You learn how the double helix of DNA is transformed by a host of molecules that constitute the epigenome and which implement the genetic code by switching genes on and off.

Epigenetics in Health and Disease

This is the e Book version of the printed book.This is the first comprehensive, authoritative, and easy-to-understand introduction to modern epigenetics. Authored by two active researchers in the field, it introduces key concepts one step at a time, enabling students at all levels to benefit from it. The authors begin by presenting a historical overview that places epigenetics in context, and makes it clear that the field is not (as some presume) completely new.

(Set) Epigenetics: How Environment Changes Your Biology & What Darwin Didn't Know: The Modern Science of Evolution

How has cutting-edge science changed our understanding of life? Discover the answers in this two-course set that includes Epigenetics: How Environment Changes Your Biology and What Darwin Didn’t Know: The Modern Science of Evolution. In this first course, join an expert in epigenetics for a journey inside your genome to discover the molecules that are switching your genes on and off—and the deep chemistry of life. And in the second, explore the ways evolution took off as a rigorous and powerfully predictive science, accumulating steady improvements to Darwin's original ideas.

Understanding Genetics: DNA, Genes, and Their Real-World Applications

We use it routinely to cure diseases, solve crimes, and reunite families. Yet we've known about it for only 60 years. And what we're continuing to learn about it every day has the potential to transform our health, our nutrition, our society, and our future. It is DNA—deoxyribonucleic acid, the self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms. Join award-winning teacher, author, and scientist Dr. David Sadava as he guides us through decades of scientific discovery and the weighty implications for us, as individuals and as a society.
