Evolutionarily conserved synthetic lethal interaction networks reveal targets for anticancer therapeutic development

Cancer is a multigenic disease. The genetic distinctness of cancer cells offers a weakness that can be exploited: for example, nearly all cancers carry mutations in processes relating to the maintenance of genomic stability. As this is an essential process, this presents a weakness that can be lever...
