Abstract：
:Significant advances in the field of hepatocyte-specific gene expression have been made during the past year. Several new transcription factors have been cloned and partially characterized. Analyses of the promoter regions of several factors have also been initiated and Drosophila homologs for two of these factors have been found, opening the way for studies on development.

杂志文章,评审abstract：:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a large class of small RNAs that function as negative gene regulators in eukaryotes. They regulate diverse biological processes, and bioinformatics data indicate that each miRNA can control hundreds of gene targets, underscoring the potential influence of miRNAs on almost every genetic pathway. ...
