Aims and Scope

Aims and Scope — Chromatin

Published by Tomorrow's Research Publications (TRP)

Aims. Chromatin takes a narrower cut than genomics generally: sequence tells you what a gene could do, chromatin state tells you what it's actually doing. We treat chromatin biology as its own discipline rather than a subsection of a broader genomics journal.

Scope. The journal covers:

• Histone modification and the "histone code"
• Chromatin remodeling complexes and mechanisms
• 3D genome organization and nuclear architecture (Hi-C, chromosome conformation)
• DNA methylation and other epigenetic marks
• Chromatin's role in transcriptional regulation
• Chromatin dynamics in development and cell differentiation
• Chromatin dysregulation in cancer and disease
• Chromatin and aging/cellular senescence
• Computational and imaging methods for chromatin structure analysis

Article types. Original research, imaging/structural studies, and critical reviews.

Audience. Epigeneticists, molecular biologists, structural biologists, and cancer researchers.
