Abstract excerpt
Malignancies are characterized by extensive global reprogramming of epigenetic patterns, including gains or losses in DNA methylation and changes to histone marks. Furthermore, high-resolution genome-sequencing efforts have discovered a wealth of mutations in genes encoding epigenetic regulators that have roles as 'writers', 'readers' or 'editors' of DNA methylation and/or chromatin states. In this Review, we...
