Nutritional Epigenomics, 2nd Edition, edited by Bradley S. Ferguson and Trygve Tollefsbol, delivers a structured examination of how dietary factors influence gene expression and human disease outcomes. Published by Academic Press, this volume connects foundational epigenetic mechanisms to clinical applications for academic researchers, industry scientists, postgraduates, and clinicians.

The content opens with core regulatory mechanisms, including DNA methylation, chromatin modifications, and small non-coding RNAs. It expands into developmental dynamics by analyzing maternal and paternal nutrition, fetal health, and circadian clock regulation. Additional chapters evaluate intervention strategies using food bioactives, phytochemicals, and short chain fatty acids to address metabolic dysfunction, cancer epigenomics, and neurocognitive disorders.

Published as Volume 14 in the Translational Epigenetics series, this 504-page book examines diet-gut microbiome interactions within specific disease pathways. The text supports advanced undergraduate students, postgraduates, and medical researchers seeking to evaluate how targeted dietary interventions modify molecular markers in human health.
