expression <strong>of</strong> chromatin remodelling factors in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. BMC<br />
Genomics, 9(1):64, 1-14.<br />
Cervical cancer is a major problem in developing countries. Similar to oral cancer, it is thought<br />
to go through a progression <strong>of</strong> histopathological stages and thus identifying markers at stages<br />
<strong>of</strong> intervention are crucial to the prognoses <strong>of</strong> patients with this disease. In this publication, a<br />
comparison <strong>of</strong> normal cervical tissue with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) was performed<br />
to identify genes upregulated in CIN. It was found that genes involved in chromatin remodelling<br />
were upregulated in CIN.<br />

Gazdar AF, Lam WL. (2010) EYA4 is a non-small cell lung cancer tumor suppressor located in<br />
the susceptibility locus on chromosome 6q.<br />
Chromosome arm 6q has been shown to harbor a region associated with lung cancer<br />
susceptibility based on the analysis <strong>of</strong> familial lung cancer datasets. Moreover, this specific<br />
region is also frequently lost in sporadic, non-familial lung cancers as well. Hence, many<br />
studies have been undertaken to identify the gene(s) in this region which may critical to lung<br />
tumorigenesis. In this manuscript, we detail the use <strong>of</strong> a genetic and epigenetic approach to<br />
identify key genes in this region which are frequently deregulated by concerted genetic and<br />
