B-MYB is essential for normal cell cycle progression and chromosomal stability of embryonic stem cells.

The transcription factor B-Myb is present in all proliferating cells, and in mice engineered to remove this gene, embryos die in utero just after implantation due to inner cell mass defects. This lethal phenotype has generally been attributed to a proliferation defect in the cell cycle phase of G1.I...
