A new approach for genome-wide synthetic lethality screening in mammalian cells: Working with our collaborators at ChemoGenix (the CRISPR/Cas9 screening platform of IRIC, Université de Montréal) our lab (Nislow) has been fortunate to help develop a rapid, cost-efficient assay to screen for genetic interactions at the genome scale. We just posted a preprint describing this work: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.04.665369v1
