978-0-12-817644-3 (ISBN)
Later sections discuss chemical modifications of the genome, DNA sequence recognition by proteins and gene regulation, GWAS and EpiGWAS studies, 3D architecture of the genome, and functional genome architecture. In-depth, discovery focused chapters examine intervention in gene networks using SiRNA/ShRNA, miRNA, and anti-miR, small molecule modulation of iPS, drug resistance pathways altered DNA methylation as drug targets, anti-miR as therapeutics, and nanodelivery of drugs.
Prof. Siddhartha Roy is a renowned scientist in the field of Chemical Biology. He has made significant contributions in the area of transcription regulation. He was the Director of CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology (IICB), the first institution dedicated to Chemical Biology, for a decade. He is the Founder-President of Chemical Biology Society, India. Prof. Tapas K. Kundu has made outstanding contributions in the area of Epigenetic regulation of gene expression in humans in the context of disease and therapeutics. He has discovered several small molecule modulators of Epigenetic enzymes.
