Epigenetic studies focus on changes in genetic information that rely on histone modification, which complements information encoded by the DNA sequence. Research in this rapidly expanding field has greatly contributed to a better understanding of processes such as gene regulation, chromatin structure, and cell differentiation and disease. The most recent advances in this area are reviewed in the collection of papers included in this Special Issue.
