Abstract

This new volume of Current Topics in Developmental Biology covers epigenetics and development, with contributions from an international board of authors. The chapters provide a comprehensive set of reviews covering such topics as epigenetic marking of the zebrafish developmental program, functions of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation in mammalian development, and reprogramming and the pluripotent stem cell cycle.

"...the choice to limit the scope of the volume to the epigenetics of development leads to an excellent work that is characterized by both focus and quality."--The Quarterly Review of Biology, Epigenetics and Development
