Project DRIVE: A Compendium of Cancer Dependencies and Synthetic Lethal Relationships Uncovered by Large-Scale, Deep RNAi Screening

E. Robert McDonald, +99 more
- 27 Jul 2017 - 
TL;DR: A large-scale RNAi screen is conducted in which viability effects of mRNA knockdown were assessed for 7,837 genes using an average of 20 shRNAs per gene in 398 cancer cell lines, outlining the classes of cancer dependency genes and their relationships to genetic, expression, and lineage features.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a family of cAMP response element-binding protein coactivators by genome-scale functional analysis in mammalian cells

TL;DR: TORCs represent a family of highly conserved CREB coactivators that may control the potency and specificity of CRE-mediated responses and represent an unbiased method for systematically determining gene function in mammalian cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of the cysteine protease cathepsin S in neuropathic hyperalgesia

TL;DR: The results demonstrate a pro‐nociceptive effect of CatS and indicate that endogenous CatS released by peripheral macrophages contributes to the maintenance of neuropathic hyperalgesia following nerve injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transformation of Aspergillus niger using the argB gene of Aspergillus nidulans

Frank Buxton, +2 more
- 01 Jan 1985 - 
TL;DR: A mutant of Aspergillus niger defective in ornithine transcarbamylase function was transformed with plasmids carrying a functional copy of the argB gene of As pergilli nidulans after treatment of spheroplasts in the presence of polyethylene glycol and calcium ions to insert any gene into the genome of A. niger.
