The epigenomic tool kit

Publication date: Available online 22 August 2014 Source:Drug Discovery Today: Disease Models Author(s): Matthew Mingay , Martin Hirst A paradigm shift in nucleic acid sequencing has spurred the development of molecular and computational techniques for the quantitative detection of epigenetic modifications genome-wide. Collectively, these methods provide researchers with an epigenomic ‘tool kit’ to engage in the molecular characterization of epigenetic states at a scale not imagined only a few years ago. This review provides a description of the current state of the massively parallel sequencing based epigenomic tool kit.
