Various methods have been proposed to identify synthetic lethality interactions, but selective treatment opportunities for various tumors have not yet been explored. Here, the authors develop the Synthetic Lethality Knowledge Graph webserver (SLKG, http://www.slkg.net) to explore the comprehensive tumor therapy landscape and uncover cancer-specific susceptibilities based on the principle of synthetic lethality.
