Structural rearrangements generate cell-specific, gene-independent CRISPR-Cas9 loss of fitness effects

Abstract Background CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing is widely used to study gene function, from basic biology to biomedical research. Structural rearrangements are a ubiquitous feature of cancer cells and their impact on the functional consequences of CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing has not yet been assessed. R...
