In the field of molecular biology the ETS (E26 transformation-specific or E-twenty-six) family is one of the largest families of transcription factors and is unique to metazoans. There are 29 genes in humans 28 in the mouse 10 in Caenorhabditis elegans and 9 in Drosophila. The founding member of this family was identified as a gene transduced by the leukemia virus E26. The members of the family have been implicated in the development of different tissues as well as cancer progression.
