Unsupervised correction of gene-independent cell responses to CRISPR-Cas9 targeting

Abstract Background Genome editing by CRISPR-Cas9 technology allows large-scale screening of gene essentiality in cancer. A confounding factor when interpreting CRISPR-Cas9 screens is the high false-positive rate in detecting essential genes within copy number amplified regions of the genome. We hav...
