Abstract
A recent meeting (December 2008) regarding chromatinbased
epigenetics was hosted by the Banbury Conference
Center and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The intent
was to discuss aspects of epigenetic control of genomic
function, and to arrive at a consensus definition of
‘‘epigenetics’’ to be considered by the broader community.
It was evident that multiple mechanistic steps lead
to the stable heritance of the epigenetic phenotype. Below
we provide our view and interpretation of the proceedings
at the meeting.
