There are currently no articles in this collection.
This Collection focuses on the rapidly evolving field of epigenetics, emphasizing the intricate mechanisms regulating gene expression beyond the DNA sequence. The collection aims to highlight cutting-edge research and reviews that advance our understanding of epigenetic modifications and their implications in health, disease, and development. We seek contributions that explore the interplay between epigenetic changes and environmental factors, as well as those that delve into the latest technological advancements in the study of the epigenome.
Possible Topics to Include:
• Mechanisms of Epigenetic Regulation: DNA methylation, histone modification, chromatin remodeling, and non-coding RNAs.
• Technological Innovations: Advances in ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, and other high-throughput techniques.
• Multiomics Approaches: Integrating genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics to understand epigenetic landscapes.
• Epigenetic Regulation in Development and Differentiation: Role in stem cells, differentiation pathways, and tissue-specific gene expression.
• Epigenetics in Disease: Epigenetic dysregulation in cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic diseases, and more.
• Environmental Epigenetics: How environmental factors such as diet, toxins, and stress influence the epigenome.
• Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance: Mechanisms and examples of epigenetic marks passed across generations.
• Therapeutic Approaches: Epigenetic drugs and potential therapeutic interventions targeting epigenetic modifications.
• Epigenetic Biomarkers: Identification and application in disease diagnosis and prognosis.
This collection welcomes both original research articles and comprehensive reviews. Authors are encouraged to submit work that provides new insights into epigenetic mechanisms, methodologies, or applications while exploring the broad implications of their findings. It aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration, shedding light on the complex and dynamic nature of the epigenome.

Dr. Dong-Sung Lee is an Associate Professor at the Department of Life Science, University of Seoul. He earned his PhD in Medical Science from Seoul National University in 2015 and completed postdoctoral fellowships at the Genomic Medicine Institute, Seoul National University, and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. He joined the University of Seoul in 2020 as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2024. His research focuses on genomics, epigenomics, single-cell sequencing, and multi-omics. Dr. Lee has developed pioneering techniques such as Single nucleus methyl-3C sequencing (snm3C-seq) and TAURUS-MH for analyzing snm3C-seq data. He has a strong background in bioinformatics and molecular biology, with extensive experience in next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods and CRISPR-based techniques.
This Collection welcomes submission of original research articles and comprehensive reviews. Should you wish to submit a different article type, please read our submission guidelines to confirm that type is accepted by the journal.
Articles for this Collection should be submitted via our submission system, Snapp. Please, select the appropriate Collection title “Deciphering Epigenetic Codes: Innovations and Implications" under the “Details” tab during the submission stage.
Articles will undergo the journal’s standard peer-review process and are subject to all the journal’s standard policies. Articles will be added to the Collection as they are published.
The Editors have no competing interests with the submissions which they handle through the peer-review process. The peer-review of any submissions for which the Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests.
