Epigenetics publishes international research into heritable changes in gene expression caused by mechanisms other than the modification of the DNA sequence.

The aim of Epigenetics is to provide an unprecedented forum where epigenetic mechanisms and their role in diverse biological processes can be revealed, shared and discussed. Topics covered include (but are not limited to):

    DNA methylation
    Nucleosome positing and modification
    Gene silencing
    Imprinting
    Chromatin remodeling
    Non-coding RNA
    Dosage compensation
    Epigenetic therapy and diagnostics
    Cancer epigenetics
    Neuroepigenetics


Epigenetics accepts original research articles, reviews and brief reports.
