title: Chromosomal translocations and non-B DNA structures in the human genome.
abstract: The mechanisms of chromosomal translocations in mammalian cells have been largely undefined. Recent progress on the most common translocation in human cancer, t(14;18), highlights interesting issues in DNA structure and in the enzymes involved in the cutting and joining phases of the process.
