Absence of blood formation in mice lacking the T-cell leukaemia oncoprotein tal-1/SCL.

TL;DR: It is shown by targeted gene disruption in mice that tal-1 is essential for embryonic blood formation in vivo and resembles loss of the erythroid transcription factor GATA-113,14 or the LIM protein rbtn215 .
Journal ArticleDOI

SOX2 is an amplified lineage-survival oncogene in lung and esophageal squamous cell carcinomas

TL;DR: A peak of genomic amplification on chromosome 3q26.33 found in squamous cell carcinomas of the lung and esophagus contains the transcription factor gene SOX2, which is necessary for normal esophageal squamous development, promotes differentiation and proliferation of basal tracheal cells and cooperates in induction of pluripotent stem cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

A lineage‐selective knockout establishes the critical role of transcription factor GATA‐1 in megakaryocyte growth and platelet development

TL;DR: A critical role for GATA‐1 is revealed in megakaryocyte growth regulation and platelet biogenesis, and targeted mutation of cis‐elements can generate lineage‐specific knockout mice are illustrated.
