Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Identification of genes that are synthetic lethal to p53 is an important strategy for anticancer therapy as p53 mutations have been reported to occur in more than half of all human cancer cases. Although genome-wide RNAi screening is an effective approach to finding synthetic lethal genes, it is costly and labor-intensive. METHODS: To illustrate this approach, we identified potentially druggable genes...
