Cancer. Exploring the bowels of DNA methylation

Curr Biol. 1995 Sep 1;5(9):1013-6. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(95)00204-1.

Abstract

Recent studies of mice lacking methyltransferase, and of genes that modify cancer susceptibility, have shed light on the long-standing problem of how DNA methylation affects carcinogenesis.
