Histone variant H3F3A promotes lung cancer cell migration through intronic regulation

Histone variants act as transcriptional activators and repressors and have been linked to cancer progression. Park and Choi et al. show that the histone H3.3 overexpression is associated with early-stage lung cancer, and promotes cancer cell migration by upregulating a G-protein-coupled receptor.
