Melanoblast transcriptome analysis reveals pathways promoting melanoma metastasis

Metastatic cells can mimic many of the phenotypic behaviors of embryonic cells. Here, the authors generate a melanoblast-specific transcriptome using a genetically engineered mouse model and identify KDELR3 as a pro-metastasis gene in melanoma.
