In this study, we performed paired tumor/normal long insert whole genome and exome sequencing and tumor RNA sequencing on primary or metastatic acral melanoma tumors collected from 34 patients. Patients were enrolled from either Vanderbilt University or the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. We report an integrated analysis of DNA and RNA sequencing data to describe genomic and transcriptomic characteristics of acral melanoma.
