Product Description
Since publication of the first edition in 1995, there have been significant advances and understanding of chromatin structure and its relation to gene expression. These include a high-resolution structure of the nucleosome core, discovery of the enzymes and complexes that mediate histone acetylation and deacetylation, discovery of novel ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes, new insights into nuclear organization and epigenetic silencing mechanisms. In light of these advances, Chromatin Structure and Gene Expression (2ed.) includes updated chapters and additional material that introduce new concepts in the process of gene regulation in chromatin. |

Great book, but a little outdated!  4 Stars
January 18, 2000
I loved this book and the way it was organized. I read, highlighted, and dogeared this book from cover to cover. It was not hard to read, it has good sized print and clear illustrations. It is very well organized into 'bite-sized' chapters, and the transition from author to author (each chapter having been written by a different specialist in the field) was very smooth, without repetition of the same information in the introduction to each chapter. This is a great book, and my only criticism of it is that it is getting a bit dated, having been written in 1995. Its definitely time for a second edition. (In fact I have purchased most of the 'Frontiers in Molecular Biology' series, and find them all to be lucid, entertaining, and easy to read. But perhaps its time for a second edition to the whole series.) Greg Doheny (Vancouver B.C.)
