Murine leukemia retroviruses (MuLVs) cause leukemia and lymphoma in susceptible strains of mice as a result of insertional mutation of cellular proto-oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Using a novel approach to amplify and sequence viral insertion sites, we have sequenced >200 viral insertion sites from which we identify >35 genes altered by viral insertion in four AKXD mouse strains. The class of genes most frequently altered are transcription factors, however, insertions are found near genes ...[more]
