摘要
Mammalian genomes harbor regulatory elements from ancient retroviral infections. These retroviral remnants are normally silenced by DNA methylation-but this can change. Reactivation of one such element triggers the expression of a nearby oncogene during the development of Hodgkin's lymphoma (571-579).
