T1  - DNA Methylation, Stem Cells and Cancer
N2  - Alterations in the normal DNA methylation processes are known to  have major consequences for embryonic development and are associated with congenital defects, autoimmunity, aging and malignant transformation.  The main purpose of this book  is to provide information about the importance of methylation mechanisms in human health and disease. The book, covers the basic mechanism of DNA and protein methylation, aiming at the advanced undergraduate and graduate biomedical students  and researchers working in the epigenetic area. The textbook  chapters  provide background as well as advanced information in the methylation area. On the other hand, it provide readers with both classical and relevant recent discoveries that have been made in the field, pointing out pathways  where questions remain.
