The integration of independent pan-cancer CRISPR-Cas9 datasets allows better representation of genomic heterogeneity across different cancer types. Here, the authors propose a strategy for the integration of two large CRISPR-Cas9 screens and report increased coverage of molecular diversity and genetic dependencies.
