Figure 1. “The first publication on epigenetics was in 1964, yet progress has been slow until the advent of high throughput technologies in the early 21st century. As of 10th November 2011 more than 2,100 publications with the term “epigenetics” in their title or abstract were available in PubMed (blue bars). However, the role of epigenetics in molecular cardiology is only starting to emerge (search terms “epigenetics heart” in title or abstract (red bars)).”.
