# DepMap — Cancer Dependency Map

## Overview

The Cancer Dependency Map (DepMap) project, run by the Broad Institute, systematically characterizes genetic dependencies across hundreds of cancer cell lines using genome-wide CRISPR knockout screens (DepMap CRISPR), RNA interference (RNAi), and compound sensitivity assays (PRISM). DepMap data is essential for:
- Identifying which genes are essential for specific cancer types
- Finding cancer-selective dependencies (therapeutic targets)
- Validating oncology drug targets
- Discovering synthetic lethal interactions

**Key resources:**
- DepMap Portal: https://depmap.org/portal/
- DepMap data downloads: https://depmap.org/portal/download/all/
- Python package: `depmap` (or access via API/downloads)
