What problem does it solve?
DepMap data enables systematic analysis of gene dependencies across cancer cell lines to identify essential targets, selective vulnerabilities, and potential synthetic lethal interactions. This skill consolidates guidance, workflow, and code references to perform dependency analysis and biomarker discovery using Chronos scores and DepMap data.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Dependency scoring: Retrieve Chronos gene effect scores across many cell lines to prioritize targets.
- Selectivity & biomarker discovery: Compare dependencies by cancer type and correlate with genomic features (mutations, CNV, expression).
- Synthetic lethality exploration: Identify genes that are selectively essential in specific genetic backgrounds.
Quick Start
Query DepMap to retrieve gene dependency scores for a target gene across cell lines and analyze cancer-selective dependencies.
