    Abstract: The present application is directed to methods and compositions for identifying target nucleic acids that are involved in cancer metastasis. The method comprises transfecting an immortalized cell line with one or more target cDNAs, said transfected cells further expressing a detectable reporter gene. The immortalized cell line lacks metastatic potential in absence of the transfected target cDNAs. Upon injection of said transfected cells into an animal, tumor cells are imaged, isolated and analyzed with respect to the presence of said target cDNAs thus identifying a gene(s) that modulates tumor metastasis.
