Mapping of DDX11 genetic interactions defines sister chromatid cohesion as the major dependency
Bibliographic record
Abstract
DDX11/Chl1R is a conserved DNA helicase with roles in genome maintenance, DNA replication, and chromatid cohesion. Loss of DDX11 in humans leads to the rare cohesinopathy Warsaw breakage syndrome. DDX11 has also been implicated in human cancer where it has been proposed to have an oncogenic role and possibly to constitute a therapeutic target. Given the multiple roles of DDX11 in genome stability and its potential as an anticancer target, we set out to define a complete genetic interaction profile of DDX11 loss in human cell lines. Screening the human genome with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) guide RNA drop out screens in DDX11-wildtype (WT) or DDX11-deficient cells revealed a strong enrichment of genes with functions related to sister chromatid cohesion. We confirm synthetic lethal relationships between DDX11 and the tumor suppressor cohesin subunit STAG2, which is frequently mutated in several cancer types and the kinase HASPIN. This screen highlights the importance of cohesion in cells lacking DDX11 and suggests DDX11 may be a therapeutic target for tumors with mutations in STAG2.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
