Mucosal melanoma (MM) is a cancer with poor prognosis derived from mucosal melanocytes. Here, the authors implement a combination of genetic changes that occur in MM patients in a zebrafish model, revealing the potential MM cell of origin and showing that patient and zebrafish MMs share a gene signature that is more metastatic and immune-evasive.
