This is accomplished by restriction endonuclease digestion, agarose gel electrophoresis, and Southern blot hybridization. DNA fragments can be isolated and expanded for more detailed studies by employing procedures whereby individual fragme

A large number of such viruses have been isolated from chickens, rodents, cats, and monkeys. Many transduce one or two oncogene sequences necessary and sufficient for effici

Aberrant growth and development are characteristic of cancer, and the hypothesis that abnormal “activated” oncogenes contribute to the neoplastic state is therefore attractive. Changes activating normal proto-oncogenes to transforming oncogenes could occur at the DNA, RNA, or protein lev
