Identification of cancer genes altered by non-genetic mechanisms in B-cell lymphoma is challenging. Here, the authors report the development of transposon tools to perform genome-wide recessive screens in vivo and validate identified putative tumor suppressor genes using a CRISPR/Cas9 validation platform.
