The Shalek Lab’s latest publication exploring metastatic melanoma using single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) in collaboration with the Regev and Garraway labs was previewed in an answer and question session with its lead authors Itay Tirosh and Benjamin Izar.

The article was published as part of a special issue in Science named “Fatal Migrations” focusing on metastatic tumors, cancer that spreads from its site of origin to create tumors in other parts of the body.
