he incidence or severity of a number of human diseases is proportional to the activity
ofindividual viral transcription units or mutant endogenous genes. Tar-getted methylation of
regulatory sites is proposed as a new method for selective gene inactivation that stimulates
an existing biological response. Mammalian pro-moters are usually inactive when meth-(l
