Epigenome

Epigenome is derived from the Greek epi, which means “over” or “above,” so epigenomes are over and above genes.

The grant, part of the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research, designates Broad as one of four Reference Epigenome Mapping Centers nationwide that will aim to transform the understanding of an exquisite control system -- a code of so-called "epigenetic" cues that specify when and where in the body genes are made active.
