Mapping Epigenomes to Understand Plant Growth, Development, and Adaptation to the Environment
But whereas faster, cheaper and more accurate sequencing technologies have developed rapidly, techniques to
map the epigenome have lagged behind.
Mapping the epigenome will allow Vijay and his team to zoom in on those genes with the greatest likelihood to contribute to disease, and the cell types in which they act, and therefore will help identify novel therapeutic targets.

map precisely where they were located.
Dyer and his colleagues also
mapped the three - dimensional organization of the retinal
epigenome to discover how retinal cells package their genes in concentric regions of the cell nucleus.
