Posttranscriptional gene regulation

Meer over het boek

Reflecting the rapid progress in the field, the book presents the current understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying posttranscriptional gene regulation. It focuses on RNA processing mechanisms in eukaryotic cells. With chapters on RNA splicing, RNA interference, MicroRNA regulation, RNA editing and other biological processes involving RNAs, the book also discusses critical roles of RNA processing in the pathogenesis of a wide range of human diseases. The interdisciplinary importance of the topic makes the title a useful resource for a wide reader group in science, in clinics as well as in the pharmaceutical industry.
