<jats:p> Cells prepare for S phase during the G <jats:sub>1</jats:sub> phase of the cell cycle. Cell biological methods have provided knowledge of cycle kinetics and of substages of G <jats:sub>1</jats:sub> that are determined by extracellular signals. Through the use of biochemical and molecular biological techniques to study effects of growth factors, oncogenes, and inhibitors, intracellular events during G <jats:sub>1</jats:sub> that lead to DNA synthesis are rapidly being discovered. Many cells in vivo are in a quiescent state (G <jats:sub>0</jats:sub> ), with unduplicated DNA. Cells can be activated to reenter the cycle during G <jats:sub>1</jats:sub> . Similarly, cells in culture can be shifted between G <jats:sub>0</jats:sub> and G <jats:sub>1</jats:sub> . These switches in and out of G <jats:sub>1</jats:sub> are the main determinants of post-embryonic cell proliferation rate and are defectively controlled in cancer cells. </jats:p>
