Generation of Oncogenes
The major ways of generating oncogenes:
Proliferation stimulating gene acquired by a virus.
Proviral insertional mutagenesis places growth promoting gene under the transcriptional control of viral elements.
Mutation of a proto-oncogene to an oncogene.
Gene Amplification.
Chromosomal Translocation.
