We mined gene expression datasets in the B-cell line P493–6 (Lin et al., 2012; Feist et al., 2018), which carries a conditional c-Myc allele that can be experimentally turned on (MYChigh), mimicking overexpression of the MYC transcription factor that is the driving oncogenic event in Burkitt’s lymphoma (Schuhmacher et al., 1999). This evidence concerns the gene MYC and Burkitt lymphoma.
