Novel common integration sites targeted by mouse mammary tumor virus insertion in mammary tumors have oncogenic activity.
Non-acute transforming retroviruses like mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) cause cancer, at least in part, through integration near cellular genes involved in growth control, thereby de-regulating their expression. It is well-established that MMTV commonly integrates near and activates expression of...
