Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To develop targeted treatments, it is crucial to identify the full spectrum of genetic drivers in melanoma, including those in non-coding regions. However, recent efforts to explore non-coding regions have primarily focused on gene-adjacent elements such as promoters and non-coding RNAs, leaving intergenic distal regulatory elements largely unexplored. METHODS: We used Hi-C chromatin contact data from...
