This book explores how chemical exposures influence epigenetic changes such as DNA methylation and histone modification. It covers the implications of these modifications for gene expression, cellular function, and disease development. The book emphasizes the role of epigenetics in understanding the long-term effects of toxins and their mechanisms of action. Ideal for toxicologists and epigenetic researchers, it advances the integration of epigenetic insights into chemical toxicology studies.
Jaxon Yates is a specialist in epigenetic modifications in chemical toxicology, exploring how chemicals alter gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. His research includes studying the long-term effects of environmental toxins on gene regulation. Jaxon advocates for integrating epigenetic assessments into chemical toxicity testing. He educates toxicologists on how epigenetic changes contribute to health risks and disease development.
