[HTML][HTML] An operational definition of epigenetics
Genes & development, 2009•genesdev.cshlp.org
A recent meeting (December 2008) regarding chromatin-based epigenetics was hosted by
the Banbury Conference Center and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The intent was to
discuss aspects of epigenetic control of genomic function, and to arrive at a consensus
definition of “epigenetics” to be considered by the broader community. It was evident that
multiple mechanistic steps lead to the stable heritance of the epigenetic phenotype. Below
we provide our view and interpretation of the proceedings at the meeting.
