Single allele loss-of-function mutations select and sculpt conditional cooperative networks in breast cancer

Transposon based screens carried out in mice can identify genes critical for tumourigensis. Here, the authors describe transposon screens in mouse models of breast cancer and highlight a large group of tumour suppressors that could underlie selection for common chromosome arm losses in cancer.
