期刊介绍：
Epigenetics & Chromatin is a peer-reviewed, open access, online journal that publishes articles providing novel insights into epigenetic inheritance and chromatin-based interactions.
Epigenetics & Chromatin is the top-ranking journal dedicated to epigenetics, and is in the top quartile of genetics and heredity journals. The Editors-in-Chief maintain an average time from submission to a first decision of 21 days. To find out if your manuscript is suitable for Epigenetics & Chromatin you can send a pre-submission inquiry to editorial@epigeneticsandchromatin.com.
Epigenetics & Chromatin aims to understand how gene and chromosomal elements are regulated and their activities maintained during cell division, differentiation and environmental alteration. Epigenetic research is concerned with heritable changes that do not change DNA sequence, but rather involve stable modifications of chromatin, DNA or protein conformation, and includes research on non-coding RNAs, nuclear organisation and chromatin interactions. Epigenetics is a broad area of research that is important for understanding the basic processes of cellular life, and as such has implications for a wide range of disciplines. The field encompasses studies that use model systems to discover and investigate epigenetic mechanisms and studies of human development and disease with an emphasis on epigenetic mechanisms or chromatin organisation.
Epigenetics & Chromatin fulfills the need for a journal that reflects the breadth of epigenetic research. Topics include, but are not limited to, gene silencing and imprinting, nuclear reprogramming, nucleosome modification, remodeling and dynamics, DNA methylation, non-coding RNAs, chromosomal maintenance elements, dosage compensation and nuclear organisation. Approaches that apply cutting-edge technologies to problems in the field are especially welcome.
