To investigate the expression of ILF3-AS1 in melanoma, we first searched the MiTranscriptome database (www.mitranscriptome.org) [8], and found that ILF3-AS1 is increased in primary melanomas and metastatic melanomas compared with normal human melanocytes (NHMEs) (Figure 1A). The gene discussed is ILF3; the disease is melanoma.
