“…Currently, there are several books on epigenetics published for the general public (29–35) or more academic audiences (36–39). Among those books, we found that The Epigenetics Revolution (30) was suitable for students of biological sciences (40). In addition, there are several online resources available.…”

“…Regarding the structural format of an epigenetics course, we suggest two options: it may be taught as a standalone course, or it can be incorporated as a component in other related courses such as genetics or cell biology. In either case, we propose three themes be included in the teaching of epigenetics: principles, techniques, and applications of epigenetics as suggested in The Epigenetics Revolution (30, 40). We expect that the books, some of the review articles, and the online resources listed in the references of this paper can be used in teaching the principles of epigenetics.…”

Epigenetics, a rapidly emerging biological science, investigates changes in gene expression without any change to the primary DNA sequence. Epigenetics plays an important role in diverse areas, including nutritional sciences, psychology, and environmental sciences. In addition, epigenetic phenomena are closely implicated in various diseases, including cancer and neurological disorders. Even though the importance of epigenetics has been widely discussed in the literature, there is no quantitative assessment on the development of epigenetics. In this paper, we show our metadata analysis of PubMed to quantitatively measure the temporal development of epigenetics. Our analysis indicates that the publication volume of epigenetics will reach 20.7% of all genetics paper in 10 years (year 2029). Based on our analysis, we suggest that epigenetics be added to the biology undergraduate curriculum.
