What is epigenomics?

Epigenomics is the study of the epigenome, the complete set of epigenetic modifications on the genetic material of a cell. Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modification, can change gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence. Epigenomics is commonly used to study how these modifications affect various biological processes, including development, aging, and disease.
