  1. transforming gene

    A transforming gene, also known as an oncogene, is a type of gene that can cause a cell to become cancerous or malignant when mutated or expressed at high levels. The transformation usually involves an alteration of the cell's growth properties, leading to abnormal cell growth, proliferation, and the potential to form tumors. These genes typically play a role in cell division, apoptosis, or cell signaling, and their transformation often results from genetic mutations or increased expression.
