title: The regulation of gene expression and the molecular basis of cancer.
abstract: Over the last few years, the advent of new genetic techniques allowed a detailed analysis of the structural and functional organization of the genome and the genes in a living cell. After the discovery of cellular oncogenes, genes which are implicated in cell growth control and differentiation, recent investigations provided evidence to a crucial role played by certain gene regulatory DNA elements and oncoproteins in the molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis.
