title: Brave new epigenomes: the dawn of epigenetic engineering.
abstract: New methods for epigenome editing now make it possible to manipulate the epigenome in living cells with unprecedented specificity and efficiency. These ground-breaking approaches are beginning to yield novel insights into the function of individual chromatin marks in the context of cellular phenotype.
