Welcome to the 11th volume of Epigenomics.
Foreword by Lucy Chard Welcome to the 11th volume of Epigenomics. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our readers a Happy New Year. In this Foreword, I shall be taking a look back at some of the journal highlights of 2018. Over the past year, we have seen some great strides in the development of epigenetics for medical applications. However, this advancing field, while niche, still needs to overcome a number of obstacles before we see a more widespread application of this technology. It has been a privilege for Epigenomics to publish work in this fascinating field, which continues to be of the highest quality.
