Abstract

Frequently amplified regions of the cancer genome contain well-known oncogenes. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Hu and colleagues discover that FAL1, a long noncoding RNA is encoded in one of these regions. FAL1 acts as an oncogene by stabilizing BMI1, which results in the repression of CDKN1A expression.
