    Oncogene
    An oncogene is a gene that has the potential to cause cancer. In tumor cells, they are often mutated or expressed at high levels. Most normal cells undergo a programmed form of death (apoptosis). Activated oncogenes can cause those cells that ought to die to survive and proliferate instead. Most on...

    oncogene
    Gene that induces a cell to divide abnormally, giving rise to a cancer. Oncogenes arise from mutations in genes (proto-oncogenes) found in all normal cells. In their mutated form, they are found in tumour cells and in viruses that are capable of transforming normal cells to tumour cells. Such viruse...
