There is a high-throughput project to look at epigenetic markers in humans. Its called the ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project (http://genome.gov/10005107) in which 10% of the human genome is being studied in extream detail for a variety characteristics including the best understood epigenetic marks (histone modification, DNA methylation etc).
This damage can be repaired by a cell given enough time, but you have to repair the damage before you replicate.
Since cancer cells are growing rapidly and most cells are growing slowly the cancer cells will be much more likely to replicate the damaged DNA and end up dead.
...depraved sites like oh, Deja.Com. I think this is not acceptable in a service that is funded out of (partly) taxpayers pockets is so over-regulated as to be utterly useless. Are other libraries in the UK taking a similar line? Does anyone else know more about this, or is this just an individual council going overboard?"...

yeah... you have to say Pretty please
Radiation tends to damage DNA.

minor typos in post, it should have read:
