Wooude established molecular cloning of retrovirus genomes and cellular protooncogenes by discovering the structure and enhancer function of proviral long terminal repeats, demonstrating that a normal cellular gene can be activated as an oncogene, and finding that Mos protooncoprotein regulates vertebrate meiosis and Met protooncoprotein is hepatocyte growth factor receptor.
