Abstract excerpt
Gene identification by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay inhibition (GINI) has proven to be a strategy for genome-wide discovery of genes containing inactivating mutations in colon and prostate cancers. Here, we present the first study of inhibition of the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway in melanoma. We used a combination of emetine and actinomycin D treatment to stabilize mRNAs containing premature...
