Epigenetics & Chromatin, a new open access journal, has launched withFrank Grosveld
andSteven
Henikoffas co-Editors-in-Chief. The Editors-in-Chief are supported by anEditorial Boardcomprised of internationally recognized experts in the field of epigenetics.

Based on the positive
response the journal has already received from the community both
Editors-in-Chief are extremely optimistic aboutEpigenetics &
Chromatin’sfuture.FrankGrosveld says“I’m thrilled to be part of the launch, particularly
because this is an open access journal that fulfils the need for a resource
that reflects the breadth of epigenetic research.The
positive response by colleagues around the world who have participated in this
venture has been fantastic.” Steven
Henikoff adds“The field of epigenetics is at an
exciting stage, one that seems comparable to the field of genetics before the
elucidation of the structure of DNA and the genetic code. We know most of the
parts, but we are still unclear as to how they work together as a system to
faithfully maintain gene expression states. As our understanding of epigenetic
继承和chromatin-based interactions progresses, we expect thatEpigenetics
& Chromatinwill become a key scientific resource”.

The journal aims to become
a home for research into epigenetic inheritance and chromatin based
interactions and has already made an impressive start in achieving its goal by
publishing two articles from the labs ofElizabeth Blackburn
andNeil Brockdorff.
