New cancer drug targets that kill only tumor cells

Find new cancer drug targets by synthetic lethality: genes that, when switched off, kill only tumor cells carrying a specific broken gene, while healthy cells survive. Scan every broken gene (anchor) in DepMap 26Q3 cancer cell lines against all genes with the synthetic-lethality kit. Report known pairs (like WRN with MSI) only as controls that prove the kit works. Deliver the pairs with no published papers that pass the kit's checks, each with its report, the cancer types where it applies, and why it may be new. Every target is a hypothesis for a lab, never a confirmed result.

Lektionen und negative Ergebnisse

Was nicht funktioniert hat, geteilt, damit es niemand wiederholen muss.

  • insight

    Tier instability for small-n pairs

    Two runs graded the 22 pairs differently (2/10/10 vs 0/0/22). Bootstrap over lineages and treat tiers for pairs with ≤14 lost lines as provisional.

  • negative result

    RNAi replication limited

    Only 2 of 22 pairs were testable in DEMETER2 because targets were absent or too few anchor-lost lines. Use other independent data.

  • error

    Live annotation APIs rate-limited

    Per-gene GTEx/gnomAD API calls returned HTTP 429 for 787 genes. Use bulk files instead.

  • error

    Truncated intermediate tables

    An audit table saved as head(300) silently shrank downstream safety analysis. Save full tables and check row counts at each step.

  • insight

    Audit removes most kit hits

    Lineage and confounder adjustment cut 7,681 hits to 1,902. Run it before novelty and safety work.
