DAISY: picking synthetic lethals from cancer genomes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A better understanding of genetic interactions in cancer might help identify new therapeutic approaches that exploit the concept of synthetic lethality. Ruppin and colleagues have developed a new computational method, DAISY, that predicts such interactions and potentially facilitates the delineation and validation of comprehensive genetic interaction networks.

is well established that Mendelian populations carry a large amount of con‘:ealed variability. Chromosomes which are lethal when homozygous constitute an important part of the concealed variability in cross-breeding populations as shown, among others, by PAVAN et al. (1951) in Drosophila willistoni. Recessive lethal second chromosomes had a mean frequency of .286 in seven Brazilian populations ...
متن کاملGenome-scale gene/reaction essentiality and synthetic lethality analysis
Synthetic lethals are to pairs of non-essential genes whose simultaneous deletion prohibits growth. One can extend the concept of synthetic lethality by considering gene groups of increasing size where only the simultaneous elimination of all genes is lethal, whereas individual gene deletions are not. We developed optimization-based procedures for the exhaustive and targeted enumeration of mult...
متن کاملApproaches to Identifying Synthetic Lethal Interactions in Cancer
Targeting synthetic lethal interactions is a promising new therapeutic approach to exploit specific changes that occur within cancer cells. Multiple approaches to investigate these interactions have been developed and successfully implemented, including chemical, siRNA, shRNA, and CRISPR library screens. Genome-wide computational approaches, such as DAISY, also have been successful in predictin...
متن کاملThe Frequency of Lethals in Crossover and Noncrossover Second Chromosomes of Drosophila Melanogaster.
T has long been known in different species that some individuals carry lethals I even though they were descended from lethal-free ancestors. These lethals usually have originated by mutation at various loci. There exists, however, a second possible source for new lethals. Since individuals in a population are heterozygous for a large array of loci, recombination, it has been argued, might give ...
متن کاملSystematic discovery of mutation-specific synthetic lethals by mining pan-cancer human primary tumor data
Two genes are synthetically lethal (SL) when defects in both are lethal to a cell but a single defect is non-lethal. SL partners of cancer mutations are of great interest as pharmacological targets; however, identifying them by cell line-based methods is challenging. Here we develop MiSL (Mining Synthetic Lethals), an algorithm that mines pan-cancer human primary tumour data to identify mutatio...
