Proposal for naming host cell-derived inserts in retrovirus genomes

J M Coffin, H E Varmus, J M Bishop

    Journal of Virology
    |December 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    We propose a simple naming system for oncogenes, which are inserted sequences in transforming retroviruses. This system uses trivial names derived from a prototype virus strain for better organization.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Virology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Retroviruses can integrate foreign DNA, including oncogenes, into host genomes.
    • The identification and classification of these oncogenes are crucial for understanding viral oncogenesis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish a standardized nomenclature for oncogenes found in transforming retroviruses.
    • To simplify the identification and tracking of viral oncogenes.

    Main Methods:

    • Developing a naming convention based on prototype viral strains.
    • Assigning trivial names to oncogenes according to their viral origin.

    Main Results:

    • A systematic approach for naming oncogenes has been proposed.

  • The proposed system facilitates clear and consistent identification of viral oncogenes.

    • Conclusions:

    • The proposed naming system offers a practical solution for organizing oncogenes.
    • Standardized nomenclature aids in future research on retroviral-induced cancers.
