Comprehensive Analysis of the Immune Implication of TEX41 in Skin Cutaneous Melanoma

Enhancer RNAs (eRNAs), a subclass of noncoding RNAs from enhancers, have been demonstrated to exhibit important regulatory effects on the expressions of various genes. However, the role of eRNAs in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) remained largely unclear. In this study, we aimed to explore the expres...
