CRISPR screens in the context of immune selection identify CHD1 and MAP3K7 as mediators of cancer immunotherapy resistance
Cancer immunotherapy is only effective in a subset of patients, highlighting the need for effective biomarkers and combination therapies. Here we systematically identify genetic determinants of cancer...
