Abstract: Provided herein are methods for the diagnosis of human melanoma by assessing MITF, miR-211, TRPM1, and/or KCNMA1 and methods for the diagnosis of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents by assessing the regulatory pathways of PGC1?. Methods for treating melanoma, including drug-resistant melanoma, are also provided.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for the diagnosis of cancer by comparison of a quantification of long non-coding RNA with the same measurement taken in a reference sample from a healthy patient. Further provided herein are methods of anticipating the likelihood that such a disease will develop, and methods of treatment in the event of such development.

Abstract: Methods are provided for the identification of compounds that selectively modulate epigenetic changes in gene expression. Compounds, compositions, kits or assays devices, and methods are provided for modulating the expression, endogenous levels or the function of small non-coding RNAs cognate to or transcribed by heterochromatic regions subject to epigenetic regulation (i.e., promoters, enhancers, centromeres, telomeres, origins of DNA replication, imprinted loci, or loci marked by dosage-compensation), and for modulating the formation or function of heterochromatin in cells, tissues or animals.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for the diagnosis of cancer by comparison of a quantification of long non-coding RNA SPRY4-IT1 with the same measurement taken in a reference sample from a healthy patient. Further provided herein are methods of anticipating the likelihood that such a disease will develop, and methods of treatment in the event of such development.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for the diagnosis and treatment of human melanoma and prediction of early disease genesis to metastasis by assessing CpG island methylation or expression level of epigenetically regulated differentially expressed coding or non-coding genes. Methods of treatment of human melanoma by modifying or regulating the same pathways are also provided.
