Abstract
A review is presented on 1) the autonomous nature of mammalian cell cytoplasm and 2) the cytoplasmic modification of nuclear gene expression. Topics include a discussion of cytoplasmic suppression of tumorigenicity. It is proposed that alterations in DNA methylation patterns may be a possible mechanism to explain cytoplasmic modification of nuclear gene expression.
