Abstract

Tightly regulated gene activity provides the molecular basis for ensuring properly controlled growth and division of eukaryotic cells. A comprehensive understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that direct gene activity of both proliferating and non-proliferating cells will provide important insight into the origin and causes of proliferative disorders in human pathology, including cancer.
