Abstract
The advent of high throughput gene expression profiling, from microarrays to sequence based assays has yielded vast insight into the biology of tumors. New technologies are constantly being unveiled which promise to generate more accurate maps of tumor gene deregulation, and demand the development of new strategies in data analysis. This review details the challenges faced in profiling tumor transcriptomes, and highlights the emerging strategies to utilize global profiling approaches to advance our understanding of causal genetic and epigenetic events and their impact on gene expression and tumor phenotype and behavior, through high throughput profiling, and integration of multiple dimensions of genomic data.

## Abstract Prostate cancer is a biologically heterogeneous disease with considerable variation in clinical aggressiveness. The behavior of prostate cancer can be considered a direct or indirect result of aberrant alterations of gene expression in prostate epithelial cells. Identification of the pa
Current differentiation therapies for cancer may not be effective because it might not be enough to only use molecules targeting chromatin remodelers. It may also be necessary to stabilize the re-expressed genes to convert malignant cells into benign ones.
BACKGROUND. p53 is the most highly mutated tumor suppressor gene in human cancers. Recently, p73, a first homologue of p53, was identified and considered to be an imprinted tumor suppressor gene. Thus, we analyzed the possible role of p73 in human prostate cancers. METHODS. We investigated the expre
