This book concentrates on current research progress in understanding transcription and its regulation in eukaryotes. Major topics include mechanisms of activation of the transcriptional apparatus; the role of chromatin in transcription; integration of signal transduction mechanisms via transcriptional regulation; tissue and developmental regulation of transcription; and the regulation of gene expression through the cell cycle. There is an extensive listing of over 1400 references to the primary literature, with each chapter being written by a leading researcher in the field. Eukaryotic Gene Transcription is a timely and comprehensive update of current understanding in this central area, presented in a form that is readily accessible to a wide readership. In addition to reviewing existing knowledge, the authors provide valuable insights into future directions for research. This book is essential reading for all molecular biologists working on gene control. This book is intended for ph.D. students, post-doctoral researchers, and final-year undergraduates. Read Less
