The first nucleotide sequence of v-src was sequenced in 1980 by A.P. Czernilofsky et al. In 1976 Drs. Dominique Stehelin, J. Michael Bishop and Harold E. Varmus of the University of California, San Francisco demonstrated that oncogenes were activated proto-oncogenes, found in many organisms including humans.
