Researchers discover DNA copy number alterations lead to changes in RNA circuits that impact melanoma metastasis

Most cancer research and available anticancer drugs focus on the impact of DNA and protein alterations that contribute to cancer; however, it is now understood that RNA molecules can also both positively and negatively impact the development of cancer. Researchers now describe how RNA molecules promote the development of melanoma metastasis by impacting anti-tumor microRNA.
