Description
Summary:Epigenomic modifications are unique in the type and amount of chemical modification at each chromosomal location, can vary from cell to cell, and can be externally modulated by small molecules. In recent years, genome-wide epigenomic modifications have been revealed, and rapid progress has been made in the identification of proteins responsible for epigenomic modifications and in the development of compounds that regulate them. This Special Issue on “Epidrugs: Toward Understanding and Treating Diverse Diseases” aims to provide insights into various aspects of the biology and development of epigenome-regulating compounds.
