The Cancer Dependency Map

SKI complex loss renders 9p21.3-deleted or MSI-H cancers dependent on PELO - Nature Analysis of large-scale CRISPR screening data, combined with experiments in patient-derived tumour organoid models, identifies PELO as a potential therapeutic target in chromosomal 9p21.3-deleted canc...

(1/3) Excited to share our latest work using
@depmap.org to uncover a new synthetic lethality in two distinct patient populations!

We found that SKI complex inactivation through two independent genomic alterations creates a dependency on PELO

Exciting new synthetic lethal target emerging from #depmap data 🧪🧬

Frequent passenger mutations in genes involved in mRNA quality control lead to a dependency on PELO-HBS1L

DepMap keeps growing—and so does the portal!

To help navigate the portal, new in 24Q4 we’ve launched a new resource page 🚀! Check it out and share your feedback.

We’re kicking off the first DepMap post with a bang!
⭐ 35 CRISPR screens
⭐ NEW data from our Pediatric Dependencies Accelerator Program (learn more at PedDep.org)
⭐ First 281 WES -> WGS
⭐ New Resources page
📣 DepMap is now on dbGaP (phs003444.v1.p1)
