  • As he was working on his doctorate, he isolated a new mutation in Drosophila causing the transformation of the antennae into legs, a mutation which is called Antennapedia. (balzan.org)
  • He goes on to say "And that is that the same genes can activate tumour growth and metastasis, and therefore some tumours are conferred metastatic capacity from their very outset. (sciencedaily.com)
