Epigenetics: a landscape takes shape.

Source

Laboratory of Chromatin Biology, The Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10021, USA.

Abstract

Epigenetics has recently evolved from a collection of diverse phenomena to a defined and far-reaching field of study. In this Essay, we examine the epistemology of epigenetics, provide a brief overview of underlying molecular mechanisms, and suggest future challenges for the field.
