Synthetic lethality and cancer

The authors review the concept of synthetic lethality — when the perturbation of one of two genes alone is viable, but the perturbation of both genes simultaneously results in the loss of viability — from model organisms to human cancers, and discuss how genetic interactions can be exploited for the identification of new drug targets in cancer.
