What Is Epigenomics?
Epigenomics is the study of epigenetic changes — such as chromatin assembly, histone modification, and DNA-protein interaction — in a cell.
These modifications are different between different cell types and can affect gene translation and gene expression without changing the DNA sequence.
Why Is Studying Epigenomics Important?
Genetic disorders, metabolic disorders, cancers, degenerative diseases, and changes in plant plasticity have all been linked to epigenetic errors.
Studying the locations and understanding how reversible compound interactions influence genome expression can help scientists recognize the mechanisms by which genes are turned on or off in a disease.
What Can You Do?
Interrogate Disease
Build a comprehensive epigenetic analysis to identify new biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
Identify Modifiers
Understand the role heritability, environment, and behavior play in gene expression and cell differentiation.
Epigenomics Tools
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Sequencing (ChIP-Seq) 
Best for
Identifying genome-wide binding sites of DNA-associated proteins such as transcription factors or histone modifications
Benefits
Identifying DNA-binding protein interactions across the entire genome, and understanding the regulation of biological processes in the context of disease
Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin Sequencing (ATAC-Seq)
Best for
Mapping genome-wide chromatin accessibility by detecting open chromatin regions
Benefits
Provides detailed insight regarding what areas of the DNA are available for interaction with transcriptional factors that play a role in gene expression regulation
Custom Methylation Sequencing
Best for
Assessing methylation patterns using commercially available or custom hybrid capture approaches
Benefits
Focus on the scientist's regions of interest which will require less sequencing depth
