| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Retroviral insertional mutagenesis in mice is one of the powerful strategies for high-throughput identification of cancer genes. Using this system, we have frequently identified the genes encoding the enzymes engaged in histone or DNA methylation. We have found that some of the enzymes are involved not only in the tumor initiation but also in the malignant tumor progression such as cell invasion and drug resistance.
