By regulating the accessibility of the genome, epigenetic regulators such as histone proteins and the chromatin-modifying enzymes that act upon them control gene expression. Proper regulation of this "histone code" allows for the precise control of transcriptional networks that are essential for establishing and maintaining cell fate and identity, disruption of which may drive carcinogenesis. How these dynamic epigenetic regulators contribute to both skin homeostasis and disease is only beginning to be understood.
