Abstract excerpt
The oncogenes are a set of genes that have been implicated as the basis of cancer. They are the activated forms of proto-oncogenes which are part of the genetic complement of all normal cells. Activation can result from mutations in the global sense i.e. point mutations, nucleotide deletions or i...
