Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although several integrated genetic studies have identified many recurrent alterations in lymphomas, their biological relevance in lymphomagenesis remains undetermined. Here, we have performed in vivo CRISPR screening to investigate the role of these genetic alterations in a high-throughput manner. Specifically, we created CRISPR libraries targeting genes with loss-of-function mutations in lymphomas, and introduced them into hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. The transplanted mice developed a variety of hematologic malignancies. In addition, sgRNA sequencing identified several novel drivers involved in the development of these neoplasms.
