Suggested Improvements

I am interested in making some rather substantial changes to this page, but thought it might be best to float some ideas here first.

An example: the second (short) paragraph says:

"New research indicates that small RNAs 21-25 nucleotides in length called miRNAs can control expression of these genes by downregulating them."

This sentence is true, and there is a lot of interest to say about miRNAs and their involvement in cancer, but the above makes a generic statement about all genes that says nothing specific about oncogenes. On that basis, I would delete this paragraph.
