title: The molecular genetics of cancer. Introduction to principles of recombinant DNA technology.
abstract: There is now firm evidence that human cancers arise from derangements of a relatively restricted and well-defined set of genes. I summarize the principles one must master in order to understand the mechanisms by which these genes disrupt normal regulation of cell growth.
