Uncovering cancer vulnerabilities by machine learning prediction of synthetic lethality
Abstract Background Synthetic lethality describes a genetic interaction between two perturbations, leading to cell death, whereas neither event alone has a significant effect on cell viability. This concept can be exploited to specifically target tumor cells. CRISPR viability screens have been widel...
