Pair-Rule Genes

Genes involved in the development of segmented animals, providing positional information during embryo segmentation.

Oncogenes

Genes that have the potential to cause cancer by promoting cell growth and division in an uncontrolled manner.

Tumor Suppressor Genes

Genes that help regulate cell growth and division, and can suppress tumor formation when functioning properly.
