Abstract
We compare the ability of shRNA and CRISPR/Cas9 screens to identify essential genes in the human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line K562. We find that the precision of the two libraries in detecting essential genes is similar and that combining data from both screens improves performance. Notably, results from the two screens show little correlation, which can be partially explained by identification of distinct essential biological processes with each technology.
