Abstract excerpt
To maintain genome integrity, cells must accurately duplicate their genome and repair DNA lesions when they occur. To uncover genes that suppress DNA damage in human cells, we undertook flow-cytometry-based CRISPR-Cas9 screens that monitored DNA damage. We identified 160 genes whose mutation caused spontaneous DNA damage, a list enriched in essential genes, highlighting the importance of genomic integrity for...
