Understanding the mechanisms of eukaryotic gene regulation is essential for students and scientists working in a wide range of clinical and basic disciplines. However, keeping track of the vast number of transcription factors which are central to gene regulation can prove daunting. The fourth edition of Eukaryotic Transcription Factors not only provides the reader with a clear and concise understanding of transcription factors but also of their vital role in the regulation of transcription in different cell types during development, in response to specific stimuli and in disease.
