ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the modulation of gene expression. In particular, the invention relates to compositions comprising antisense oligonucleotides which inhibit expression of a gene in operable association with protein effectors of a product of that gene, and methods of using the same.In addition, the invention relates to the modulation of mammalian gene expression regulated by methylation.
