Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We are developing cell-based assays to identify anticancer agents that are selectively toxic to cells with defined mutations. As a test, we used a three-stage strategy to screen compounds from the National Cancer Institute's repository for agents that are selectively toxic to double-strand break repair-deficient yeast cells. METHODS: Compounds identified in the screen were further analyzed by use of...
