Data for epigenetics research

Submission status
Open
Submission deadline

Epigenetics research over the last 20 years has led to an extraordinary range of discoveries, which are continuing to grow in number and scope. Fields of research span biochemistry, molecular biology, genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, medicine, therapeutics, our understanding of reproduction and ageing, developmental biology and evolutionary biology. This Collection presents data within epigenetics research including, but not limited to, data generated through techniques such as ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, whole-genome DNA methylation such as WGBS or RRBS, RNA sequencing, single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq), single-cell epigenetics/epigenomics, spatial transcriptomics/epigenomics, and the role of non-coding RNAs in epigenetic modulation.

This Collection welcomes submissions of Data Descriptors (full information on content types can be found here). Papers will be published in Scientific Data as soon as they are accepted and then collected together and promoted on the Collection homepage. All Guest Edited Collections are associated with a call for papers and are managed by one or more of our Editorial Board Members and the journal's Editors.

This Collection welcomes submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of Scientific Data more generally. See our editorial process page for more details.

All submissions are subject to the same peer review process and editorial standards as regular Scientific Data articles, including the journal’s policy on competing interests. The peer review of any submissions for which the Guest Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests. See our Collections guidelines for more details.
