(Now in two-colour throughout, the fourth edition of Eukar...)
Now in two-colour throughout, the fourth edition of Eukaryotic Transcription Factors has been completely rewritten and restructured to take into account the tremendous advances in our understanding of transcription factors and the mechanisms by which they act. Considerable emphasis has been given to the interaction between transcription factors and chromatin structure. Also included is an entirely new section on the mediator complex and expansion of the space devoted to co-activators and co-repressors. This book is essential reading for all those who wish to understand the impact of molecular biology on medicine, whatever their speciality. * Major families of eukaryotic transcription factors described * Mechanisms of gene activation and repression analysed * Structure-function relationships indicated * Interaction between transcription factors and chromatin structure described * Roles in inducible and cell type-specific gene expression * Roles in development, differentiation and human diseases including cancer * Methods of study in vitro and in vivo

(Transcription, or the process by which DNA produces RNA, ...)
Transcription, or the process by which DNA produces RNA, is a central aspect of gene expression. Transcription factors regulate transcription during development and in disease states. As such, it is critical for researchers to gain a good understanding of the relationship between the structure of various families of transcription factors and their function, as well as roles in human disease. Since publication of the Fourth Edition, there have been major advances, notably in the areas of chromatin remodeling and genome-scale analyses. This complete update includes all new coverage of the latest developments, from enabling genomic technologies to studies on the importance of post-translational modifications beyond phosphorylation events. • Potential of transcription factors as therapeutic targets in human disease • Importance of histone modifications • Use of genome-based sequence analysis and high-throughput methods • Applications of the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay • Transcriptional elongation • Regulation by post-translational modifications • Regulatory networks and bioinformatics

Gene regulation is an essential process in the development and maintenance of a healthy body, and as such, is a central focus in both basic science and medical research. Gene Regulation, Fifth Edition provides the student and researcher with a clear, up-to-date description of gene regulation in eukaryotes, distilling the vast and complex primary literature into a concise overview.
