../Epigenetics 2010

Our latest collection brings together 20 Research Articles, along with a Research in Translation article and two Primers. They reflect a range of model systems and organisms, and variously offer phenotypic, mechanistic, and chromatin-based insights. Produced with support from New England Biolabs. The PLoS journal editors have sole responsibility for content. Read our blog post for insights into this cross-journal collection.
