QKI and cancer: Although several studies have indicated QKI is involved in cancer‐associated splicing, its action to date has largely been inferred from motif analysis or from effects on single target genes, with the exception of a global analysis in lung cancer cells (Novikov et al, 2011; Zong et al, 2014; Danan‐Gotthold et al, 2015; de Miguel et al, 2016; Yang et al, 2016).
