The role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and treatment resistance is unclear. Here, the authors use transcriptome sequencing of matched normal, primary, and metastatic CRC tissues to discover and validate that lncRNA RAMS11 promotes metastasis and resistance to topoisomerase inhibitors in mCRC.
