According to some, epigenomics is the next frontier for genome researchers. Literally meaning “on top of” the genome, the epigenome refers to chemical tags that attach to DNA and the protein scaffold that supports it, together known as “chromatin.” Those tags help turn genes on and off, and therefore they can have huge biological implications.

If you are a regular visitor to the ӳý’s website, you may have noticed that things look a little different.

In addition, we’ve tweaked the navigation to help folks — scientists and non-scientists alike — find the information they are seeking. What you see now is the fruit of that months-long effort.
