"Several books in epigenetics exist in the literature, however, a good number of them provide only basic concepts. The value of this book is its provocative idea of utilizing epigenetic factors to reduce, modify, and/or treat human conditions. It provides a perfect link between the area of epigenetics and precision medicine." --Doody
