Study Links New Long Non-Coding RNA to Melanoma

Mar 23, 2016

|

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – A form of melanoma marked by amplification of an oncogene called MITF appears to also involve gains of a long, non-coding RNA called SAMMSON that is widely expressed in melanoma, according to a study published online today in Nature.
