title: Cancer genes, proto-oncogenes, and development.
abstract: The retroviral cancer genes have in a number of observations been shown to interfere with the developmental program of target cells. Here we are concerned with the interface between cancer genes/proto-oncogenes and developmental processes. Research in this field serves two purposes; to delineate key developmental controls and to identify these as targets for oncogenic agents.
