The sections that are present are helpful, but there simply isn't enough information on this page to make it useful.

Within the scope of WikiProject Computational Biology and the Regulatory and Systems Genomics task force. This article is relevant; there are roughly a thousand review articles matching the search criteria for this topic on PubMed, so there's a sufficiently large body of research. There are only about six sources cited. Some of the sections have no citations, such as the "applications in cancer epigenetics" subsection and the "Definition" section. There are not enough linked articles. There are no linked articles in the "Definition" section, for example, which is problematic because there are several technical terms used that aren't otherwise defined in the article.

C class article of mid importance. Very little activity in the talk page, which is surprising, because this article is within the scope of several WikiProjects (it was created by a UT class with WikiEducation and is in the scope of WikiProject Autism). This article is relevant; there are several hundred review articles matching the search criteria for this topic on PubMed, so there's a sufficiently large body of research. This article is too technical. There should be a broader overview of why the topic is important and why it's being researched.

There are too many technical tables in each of the sections, which make the article visually unappealing, difficult to grasp, and overly complicated. Each of the sections need more context to explain their relevance.

This article needs fewer primary sources and more review/secondary sources. This references section of this article needs to be reformatted.
