Epigenetics publishes peer-reviewed original research and review articles that provide an unprecedented forum where epigenetic mechanisms and their role in diverse biological processes can be revealed, shared, and discussed.

Epigenetics research studies heritable changes in gene expression caused by mechanisms others than the modification of the DNA sequence. Epigenetics therefore plays critical roles in a variety of biological systems, diseases, and disciplines. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

DNA methylation

Nucleosome positioning and modification

Gene silencing

Imprinting

Nuclear reprogramming

Chromatin remodeling

Non-coding RNA

Non-histone chromosomal elements

Dosage compensation

Nuclear organization

Epigenetic therapy and diagnostics

Nutrition and environmental epigenetics

Cancer epigenetics

Neuroepigenetics
