Description
This video provides an overview of the types of genes that, when mutated, can lead to the development of cancer.
This video explains the difference between proto-oncogenes, oncogenes, and tumor suppressor genes, and how mutations in these genes drive cancer development. These genes often play important roles in cellular processes, including the cell cycle, DNA repair, and cellular differentiation.
This video is a clip from a 2013 Holiday Lecture on Science, Medicine in the Genomic Era.
