Familiarity with the mechanisms of eukaryotic gene regulation is now essential for scientists and students in both clinical and basic disciplines, and transcription factors are central to such regulation.

Revised and completely up-to-date, the second edition of Eukaryotic Transcription Factors includes additional sections, including 'TBP, the universal transcription factor?', 'The MYC oncogene' and 'Anti-oncogenes and Cancer', as well as a major expansion in the discussion of transcriptional activation, and particularly transcriptional repression.
