Reviews

From the reviews: It aims to be both a primer in epidemiology for epigeneticists and an epigenetics reference for epidemiologists. ... the field of epigenetic epidemiology is in ascendency and this textbook provides the first broad foundation for anyone embarking on population-based studies in epigenetic epidemiology. ... Any prospective researcher aspiring to address any of the many unanswered fundamental issues in this field would certainly find this book a must useful reference. (Catherine Potter and Caroline L.
