The field of epigenomics aims to detect and interpret epigenetic modifications at the whole genome level. These approaches have the potential to increase resolution of epigenetic changes to the single base level in multiple disease states or across a population of individuals. Identification and comparison of the epigenomic landscape has challenged our understanding of the regulation of phenotype. Additionally, inclusion of these marks as biomarkers in the early detection or progression monitoring of disease is providing novel avenues for future biomedical research. Cells of the endocrine organs, which include pituitary, thyroid, thymus, pancreas ovary and testes, have been shown to be susceptible to epigenetic alteration, leading to both local and systemic changes often resulting in life-threatening metabolic disease. As with other cell types and populations, endocrine cells are susceptible to tumour development, which in turn may have resulted from aberration of epigenetic control. Techniques including high-throughput sequencing and array-based analysis to investigate these changes have rapidly emerged and are continually evolving. Here, we present a review of these methods and their promise to influence our studies on the epigenome for endocrine research and perhaps to uncover novel therapeutic options in disease states.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1530\/jme-12-0045","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,24]],"date-time":"2012-04-24T00:55:50Z","timestamp":1335228950000},"page":"R19-R27","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Make way for the \u2018next generation\u2019: application and prospects for genome-wide, epigenome-specific technologies in endocrine research"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Richard D","family":"Emes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William E","family":"Farrell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"1_38874350","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"364","DOI":"10.1210\/en.2010-0886","volume":"152","year":"2011","journal-title":"Endocrinology","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0013-7227","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"7","key":"2_18379757","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1827","DOI":"10.1210\/me.2004-0087","volume":"18","year":"2004","journal-title":"Molecular Endocrinology","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0888-8809","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"7","key":"3_40353416","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"920","DOI":"10.4161\/epi.6.7.16079","volume":"6","author":"Banister","year":"2011","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/1559-2308","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"10","key":"4_40831186","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"726","DOI":"10.1038\/nrc3130","volume":"11","author":"Baylin","year":"2011","journal-title":"Nature reviews.
