Abstract:
The Oncogenomics meeting focused on bioinformatics, molecular pathways and global gene expression profiles relating to cancer. Several sessions were devoted to updating the audience on the latest status of the human genome project. Future directions will focus on mining the genome for new information about the genetic code in humans. Proteomics is becoming a useful tool for helping to understand the structure and function of proteins and their partners, which will, in turn, enable us to more rationally use proteins as targets for therapy.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
