Oncogenes
An oncogene is a gene that causes cancer. Oncogenes arise from normal cellular genes, often ones that help regulate cell division.

Proto-Oncogene
Proto-oncogenes are functional structural genes present in the human genome that have sequences very similar to oncogenes seen in viruses. Under normal conditions, the proto-oncogenes p...
