Proposals for Regulation of ASV Genes Proposals for Regulation of ASV Genes

Contributor(s): University of California, San Francisco. Archives and Special Collections. Harold E. Varmus Papers UCSF Publication: Produced: [1978] Language(s): English Format: Still image Subject(s): Avian Sarcoma Viruses Genre(s): Archival Materials Slides (photographs) Charts (graphic documents) Abstract: This slide offers three different schematic concepts for how the genes of Avian Sarcoma Virus are transcribed into messenger RNA, which carries the genes' instructions for making proteins to the protein-building machinery outside the cell nucleus. In particular, Varmus here tries to assess the role of the promoter, a segment of DNA upstream of a gene coding region (here a viral gene) that acts as a controlling element in the expression of that gene.
