The wealth of latest data and knowledge relating to epigenetics obtained in recent years highlights a vibrant future for epigenetics research. It involves the integration of high-throughput sequencing technologies and the means to maintain and manipulate the large amount of data produced by sequencing epigenomes. As more epigenetic markers are associated with specific diseases and tools can be developed to diagnose patients and gauge the severity of disease. There is also great concern in therapeutic epigenetics many drugs, such as DNA methyltransferase inhibitors and histone deacetylase inhibitors are already used in cancer treatment. It is a very exciting time to study epigenetic, and this field of research has the potential to completely transform medicine and greatly improve human lives.
