The majority of the human genome is transcribed into non- coding RNA. We investigate the role of long ncRNAs in cancer by profiling the expression of 17000 ncRNAs in three major tumor entities - lung, liver and breast cancer.In addition, we identified the lncRNA MALAT1 as a marker, active player and potential therapeutic target in lung cancer metastasis using a novel approach to create human knockout cells.
