Generation of oncogenic mouse type C viruses: in vitro selection of carcinoma-inducing variants.

abstract：:Cooperation via production of common goods is found in diverse life forms ranging from viruses to social animals. However, natural selection predicts a "tragedy of the commons": Cheaters, benefiting from without producing costly common goods, are more fit than cooperators and should destroy cooperation. In an attempt ...
