Scientists often look askance at their colleagues whose research appears too strongly focused on a single gene or gene product. These rearrangements (including chromosomal translocation, viral integration, and gene ampli?cation) act to uncouple expression of the myc family genes from their normal physiological regulators.

In the last few years the major effect that RNAi has had in invertebrate systems is beginning to take hold in mammalian systems through both single gene knockdown experiments and genome-scale screens. Through the introduction of RNAi, mammalian systems have finally gained admittance to the pantheon of model genetic systems.
