Metastasis: Micro silencing
Standfirst
Hypermethylation might be the cause of the deregulation of microRNA expression that is implicated in the development of tumour metastasis.

Web Watch: Where structure meets function
Standfirst
It is hoped that the user-friendly resource 'Proteopedia' — which places structural information in its appropriate biological context — will help researchers to understand the 3D functions of their favourite macromolecules.

Genetics: More than one way...
Standfirst
Sequencing of the human genome, combined with the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing platforms and other large data analysis systems, opens the possibility for the identification of all genetic changes that occur within a specific tumour type.
