DESCRIPTION:Epigenome refers to the panoply of chemical modifications born
 e by DNA and its associated proteins that locally affect genome function. 
 Patterns of epigenomic marking are often thought to reflect external const
 raints including disease and the environment\, but DNA sequence is also a 
 potential influence. Evidence that sequence-specific DNA binding proteins 
 mould and interpret the epigenome will be discussed. Experimental support 
 for the notion that gross features of DNA sequence are read as signals to 
 influence the epigenome and gene activity will also be presented.
