Description for Epigenetics: Linking Genotype and Phenotype in Development and Evolution
Hardback. Illuminating the processes and patterns that link genotype to phenotype, this title seeks to explain features, characters, and developmental mechanisms that can only be understood in terms of interactions that arise above the level of the gene.

Illuminating the processes and patterns that link genotype to phenotype, "Epigenetics" seeks to explain features, characters, and developmental mechanisms that can only be understood in terms of interactions that arise above the level of the gene. With chapters written by leading authorities, this volume offers a broad integrative survey of epigenetics. Approaching this complex subject from a variety of perspectives, it presents a broad, historically grounded view that demonstrates the utility of this approach for understanding complex biological systems in development, disease, and evolution. Chapters cover such topics as morphogenesis and organ formation, conceptual foundations, and cell differentiation, and together ... Read more

Reviews for Epigenetics: Linking Genotype and Phenotype in Development and Evolution
"Eloquent, comprehensive, and insightful."
Marcelo R. Sanchez-Villagra Evolution & Development "Epigenetics will go a long way towards making the reader re-evaluate any ideas that the evolution of variation is purely due to small genetic change."
Brian Livingstone Linnean Society Biological Journal "This book is an invaluable contribution for understanding the intricacies of evolutionary processes as well as for ... Read more
