Brief description The MYB gene is essential for both normal blood cell formation and the growth of leukaemia cells. It acts by switching other genes (target genes) on and off. This project aims to advance our understanding of how MYB functions, by carrying out a comprehensive search for MYB target genes. In particular it will focus on target genes that help explain MYB's ability to control cellular growth and maturation. Some of these target genes may provide leads for future anti-cancer drug development.
