1 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tumor development in the human colon is commonly accompanied by epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation and chromatin modifications. These alterations result in significant, inheritable changes in gene expression that contribute to the selection of tumor cells with enhanced survival potential. RESULTS: A recent high-throughput gene expression analysis conducted by our group identified numerous...
