Combined gene essentiality scoring improves the prediction of cancer dependency mapsResearch in context

Background: Probing genetic dependencies of cancer cells can improve our understanding of tumour development and progression, as well as identify potential drug targets. CRISPR-Cas9-based and shRNA-based genetic screening are commonly utilized to identify essential genes that affect cancer growth. H...
