A zebrafish melanoma model reveals emergence of neural crest identity during melanoma initiation

The “cancerized field” concept posits that cancer-prone cells in a given tissue share an oncogenic mutation, but only discreet clones within the field initiate tumors. Most benign nevi carry oncogenic BRAF[superscript V600E] mutations but rarely become melanoma. The zebrafish crestin gene is express...
