BRAF activated non-coding RNA (BANCR), a 693-nt lncRNA encoded on human chromosome 9, has been found to be aberrant expressed in quite a few cancers, such as colorectal cancer [10], retinoblastoma [11], melanoma [12], papillary thyroid carcinoma [13], lung carcinoma [14],gastric cancer [15] and hepatocellular carcinoma [16]. Here, BANCR is linked to melanoma.
