- An oncogene is a gene that, when mutated or expressed at high levels, helps turn a normal cell into a tumor cell.
- Oncogene is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Nature Publishing Group addressing cancer cell genetics and the structure and function of oncogenes.
- (Oncogenic) Oncogenesis is the process of malignant transformation leading to the formation of a cancer or tumor (carcinogenesis). ...
- (Oncogenes) genes that normally play a role in the growth of cells but, when overexpressed or mutated, can foster the growth of cancer.
