Pancreatic cancer is a formidable disease, and advances in early detection and improved therapeutics have been slow to come forth. With new advances in molecular genetics in the field of pancreatic tumorigenesis, it is an opportune time to use these recent discoveries to enhance our understanding of
## Abstract Hypomethylation of DNA repetitive elements is a common finding in cancer, but very little is known about the DNA methylation changes of different types of DNA repetitive elements, such as interspersed repeats (__LINE1__ and __Alu Yb8__) and tandem repeats (__SatβΞ±__, __NBLβ2__ and __D4Z
## Abstract Genomic alterations influencing the expression and/or activity of tumor suppressors or oncogenes such as __KRAS2__, __CDKN2A__, __TP53,__ and __DPC4__ have been directly implicated in the initiation and progression of human pancreatic adenocarcinoma. In an effort further to systematical
