Abstract excerpt
Targeting mutant KRAS signaling pathways continues to attract attention as a therapeutic strategy for KRAS-driven tumors. In this study, we exploited the power of the CRISPR-Cas9 system to identify genes affecting the tumor xenograft growth of human mutant KRAS (KRASMUT) colorectal cancers. Using pooled lentiviral single-guide RNA libraries, we conducted a genome-wide loss-of-function genetic screen in an...
