The intent was to discuss aspects of epigenetic control of genomic function, and to arrive at a consensus definition of ‘‘epigenetics’’ to be considered by the broader community. It was evident that multiple mechanistic steps lead to the stable heritance of the epigenetic phenotype. Below we provide our view and interpretation of the proceedings at the meeting.
