Gene Editing Epigenetic Cloning and Therapy

<p>This book is really helpful for someone who wants to start learning about genes and DNA. It is a well-written book describing all the introductory materials one would need to become current with genomes and genomics topics. It begins with an introduction to DNA and genes in chapter 1 and goes on from there through epigenetic in chapter 2 including acetylation methylation ubiquitylation of protein deimination and proline isomerization. It goes through gene editing in chapter 3 which includes good description of TALENs ZFNs and CRISPR/Cas systems. Chapter 4 includes cloning using artificial embryo twinning somatic cell nuclear transfer and asexual reproduction. Chapter 5 is about the material on basic stem cells of embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Chapter 6 discusses techniques and technology of gene therapy and cloning therapy. Chapter 7 includes descriptions on cell division mitosis meiosis biological life cycle parthenogenesis bacterial conjugation DNA fingerprints genetic relationship between individuals and surname studies. </p><p>The book includes many diagrams and a glossary and an index. For a serious book on DNA and genes this book is quite readable. It is a user-friendly textbook so that many readers will find it helpful to read some chapters more than once. The book is a valuable introduction to the extremely important field of genes and genomics.</p>
