Epigenetics : Linking Genotype and Phenotype in Development and Evolution

Epigenetics : Linking Genotype and Phenotype in Development and Evolution / edited by Benedikt Hallgrímsson and Brian K. Hall.

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 vol...
