In vivo CRISPR screens reveal NOTCH regulators suppressing Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma in mice [RNA-seq]

In most cancers, only a few genes are mutated at high frequencies, while the vast majority are mutated at low frequencies. The functions of these recurrent but infrequent 'long-tail' mutations remain largely elusive. Here, we develop in vivo CRISPR screens to assess the transforming potential of 484 long-tail genes in human Head and Neck Squamous Cell 5 Carcinoma (HNSCC). Overall design: Analyzed differential expression between Adam10, Ajuba KO vs. the WT primary mouse keratinocytes.
