Functional linkage of gene fusions to cancer cell fitness assessed by pharmacological and CRISPR-Cas9 screening

Gene fusions are observed in many cancers but their link to tumour fitness is largely unknown. Here, transcriptomic analysis combined with pharmacological and CRISPR-Cas9 screening of cancer cell lines was used to evaluate the functional linkage between fusions and tumour fitness.
