Table 1 Definitions of epigenetics ranging from classical to the translational

From: The timeline of epigenetic drug discovery: from reality to dreams

Classical

Alterations in biological phenotype without an underlying change in genotype

Biological

Regulation of eukaryotic gene expression through chromatin remodelling

Chemical

Reversible structural modifications of DNA and histone proteins

Drug discovery

Targeting proteins that introduce, recognise, or remove DNA and histone modifications
