Deskripsi
Systematic screens for synthetic lethal gene pairs represent a powerful approach to define interactions that may be exploited in the clinic. Here, the authors use a dual-guide CRISPR screening approach to screen a curated selection of gene pairs across three cell lines and validate the Fam50a/Fam50b synthetic lethality was in isogenic cell models as well as in an in vivo setting.
