Cancer genes and cancer stem cells in tumorigenesis: Evolutionary deep homology and controversies
4 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
In the past, contradictory statements have been made about the age of cancer genes. While phylostratigraphic studies suggest that cancer genes emerged during the transitional period from unicellularians (UC) to early metazoans (EM), life cycle studies suggest that they arose earlier. This controversy could not be resolved. Phylostratigraphic methods use data from somatic tumor gene collections containing or...
