  The motivation most often cited in searches for D0-anti-D0 mixing and
CP-violation in charm system lies with the possibility of observing a signal
from new physics which dominates that from the Standard Model. We review recent
theoretical predictions and experimental constraints on D0-anti-D0 mixing
parameters. We also discuss the current status of searches for CP-violation in
charmed meson transitions, as well as some recent theoretical ideas.
