Epigenomics is the study of epigenetics in the nuclear environment. Understanding the interplay between gene expression and positioning of specific DNA sequences motivates intense research and animates vivid discussions. New tools to investigate this relationship on a genome-wide level are continuously being developed and in April the latest technological advances and some exciting recent results were presented at the latest Marie Curie meeting and training course held in Edinburgh. We present a few of the highlights here. Position is everything - or is it The intranuclear positions of several genes have been correlated with their activity. This observation led to the hypothesis that co-regulated genes might be recruited to preassembled transcription factories which are potentially nucleated around foci of shared transcription factors. It is unclear whether relocalization is a consequence of transcription or whether recruitment to a distinct site poises sequences for expression or silencing. The use of genome-wide DNA adenine methyltransferase identification Dam-ID has enabled Maarten Fornerod Netherlands Cancer Institute Amsterdam The Netherlands and Daan Hupkes Netherlands Cancer Institute to analyze the nature and dynamic behavior of the genome at the nuclear periphery in a clever way. Fornerod showed that in Drosophila genes tethered to
