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.

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.
