Abstract excerpt
Mutations that cause chromosome instability (CIN) in cancer cells produce "sublethal" deficiencies in an essential process (chromosome segregation) and, therefore, may represent a major untapped resource that could be exploited for therapeutic benefit in the treatment of cancer. If second-site unlinked genes can be identified, that when knocked down, cause a synthetic lethal (SL) phenotype in combination with a...
