Different cancers are dependent on distinct genes for their survival. The Broad institute previously ran assays on cancer cell lines that knocked out individual genes. Cell survival was subsequently measured to discover what genes were most essential to cancer survival. This dashboard uses the “essentiality” scores produced from these assays to visualize the genomic location of important genes for survival. The correlation between gene essentiality scores across cancer cell lines is also available on this dashboard to investigate inter-gene relationships. While other exploration tools exist for these datasets, this is the first that gives spatial insight to cancer gene dependence.
