Genome-wide synthetic lethal screen unveils novel CAIX-NFS1/xCT axis as a targetable vulnerability in hypoxic solid tumors
Abstract The metabolic mechanisms involved in the survival of tumor cells within the hypoxic niche remain unclear. We carried out a synthetic lethal CRISPR screen to identify survival mechanisms governed by the tumor hypoxia–induced pH regulator carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX). We identified a redox homeostasis network containing the iron-sulfur cluster…

WGCNA (TRAIT DATA) 0 I had already obtained a group of significant proteins after performing analysis on data obtained from LC-MS. I would like to perform network analysis on selected proteins using WGCNA package in R. Network analysis using WGCNA:- Removed outlier samples and Genes. Identified softpower (Beta) for singed…
Strategies to learn about a gene of interest from single-cell RNA-seq data
Strategies to learn about a gene of interest from single-cell RNA-seq data 0 Using a large public single-cell RNA-seq dataset from brain where cells are already segregated by brain region, cell type, marker gene cluster, etc. I am looking to do exploratory analyses to learn whatever I can about a…
How do I start clue GO in R using the cytoscape REST API?
How do I start clue GO in R using the cytoscape REST API? 0 Hi there, I am trying to connect to open the Clue GO application in R using cytoscape REST API. I have the following code: port.number = 1234 host.address <- “localhost” cytoscape.base.url = paste(“http://”,host.address,”:”, toString(port.number), “/v3.11.1″, sep=””)…
How to merge the edited KEGG pathways in cytoscape
How to merge the edited KEGG pathways in cytoscape 1 I have learnt to import KEGG pathways to cytoscape and merge the pathways without any edits. but I want to differentiate the nodes of each pathways with different colours to understand the pathways of particular gene or molecule. when I…
