title: Transcriptional regulation and transformation by Myc proteins.
abstract: Myc genes are key regulators of cell proliferation, and their deregulation contributes to the genesis of most human tumours. Recently, a wealth of data has shed new light on the biochemical functions of Myc proteins and on the mechanisms through which they function in cellular transformation.
