Expression genetics in cancer: Shifting the focus from DNA to RNA

Abstract excerpt

Expression genetics is a conceptually different approach to the identification of cancer-related genes than the search for mutations at the genome level. While mutations lie at the heart of cancer, at least in its early stages, what is recognized here are phenotypic changes usually many steps removed from the initiating mutation. Classically cancer geneticists have concentrated on genomic changes and have ignored...
