This website aims to provide a central gathering point for information about germline epigenetics against the backdrop of environmental exposures. If this topic is of interest to you (and I hope it is!) I would like to point you to an earlier effort to put on the map the possible role of environmental epigenetics in autism.
The site, autismepigenetics.org, an archive of videos and other information from a March 2013 symposium on the topic sponsored by UC Davis MIND Institute, Autism Speaks and the Escher Fund for Autism. The outstanding speakers included:
Jill Escher, autism parent and science philanthropist
Amander Clark, Ph.D, UCLA, Department of Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology and Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine.
David Crews, Ph.D, Ashbel Smith Professor of Integrative Biology, and Psychology, University of Texas at Austin
