First sentence: It is now about 30 years since the cellular progenitors of retroviral oncogenes, the first proto-oncogenes, were identified in vertebrate genomes (Stehelin et al. 1976; Rosenberg and Jolicoeur 1997), and over 20 years since mutant versions of such genes were first discovered in human cancers.
