Improved analysis of CRISPR fitness screens and reduced off-target effects with the BAGEL2 gene essentiality classifier

Abstract Background Identifying essential genes in genome-wide loss-of-function screens is a critical step in functional genomics and cancer target finding. We previously described the Bayesian Analysis of Gene Essentiality (BAGEL) algorithm for accurate classification of gene essentiality from shor...
