Abstract:Genetic perturbations mediated by CRISPR-Cas9 are transforming the drug discovery process. In the hunt for novel drug targets, researchers finally have a screening tool with sufficient penetrance and power to identify new interactions, followed by a rapid gene editing technology to streamline validation approaches. At Horizon Discovery, we have now initiated more than 250 CRISPR-Cas9 knockout (KO) screens, including a significant effort to identify novel synthetic lethal interactions in colon and lung cancer g… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
