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

Studying clonal dynamics in response to cancer therapy using high-complexity barcoding

TL;DR: It is suggested that resistant clones are present before treatment, which would make up-front therapeutic combinations that target non-overlapping resistance a preferred approach and ClonTracer barcoding may be a valuable tool for optimizing therapeutic regimens with the goal of curative combination therapies for cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Chemical Genetics Approach for the Functional Assessment of Novel Cancer Genes

TL;DR: The Degron-KI system was able to faithfully recapitulate the effects of pharmacologic EZH2 and PI3Kα inhibitors in cancer cell lines and provided the first causal link between SF3B1 hotspot mutations and splicing alterations.
