While genome has complete set of instructions for building proteins needed for life, epigenome consists of chemical compounds which modify or mark the genome in a cell that tells it what to do.
Although genome is the same for all ~200 different types of cells in our body, epigenome is drastically different
which makes them specialized in their day to day activity. DNA methylation and histone modification processes are known to
contribute to the epigenome and has become a major research topic in cancer research which will one day be helpful in
improved diagnosis, therapy and possible cure.
Epigenomics or epigenetics is the study of gene regulation and expression which are not dependent on underlying gene sequence.
Genomewide mapping of epigenetic information generate large amount of data which in turn mandates efficient processing and analysis involving computational challenges.
Computational epigenetics applies bioinformatics methods to aid solving epigenetic puzzles.
