Insertional mutagenesis identifies a member of the Wnt gene family as a candidate oncogene in the mammary epithelium of int-2/Fgf-3 transgenic mice.

abstract：:A method is described for monitoring the enzyme-mediated unwinding of duplex DNA spectrophotometrically. The assay employs a partially duplex oligonucleotide substrate modified at the complementary end with coumarin and fluorescein moieties.
