CRISPR-Cas technology offers a versatile toolbox for genome editing, with applications in various cancer-related fields such as functional genomics, immunotherapy, synthetic lethality and drug resistance, metastasis, genome regulation, chromatic accessibility and RNA-targeting. The variety of screening platforms and questions in which they are used have caused the development of a wide array of analytical methods for CRISPR analysis. In this review, we focus on the algorithms and frameworks used in the computational analysis of pooled CRISPR knockout (KO) screens and highlight some of the most significant target discoveries made using these methods. Lastly, we offer perspectives on the design and analysis of state-of-art multiplex screening for genetic interactions.

Erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), is currently used in the therapy of several solid malignancies. This agent has been associated with several dermatological side-effects, the most common being papulo-pustular acneiform rash. Herein we describe a unique skin effect in a patient treated with erlotinib for non-small cell lung cancer.

Multi-sequence maximal unique matches (multi-MUMs) are guideposts for core genome alignments, helping to frame and solve the multiple alignment problem. We introduce Mumemto, a tool that computes multi-MUMs and other match types across large pangenomes.

Facial bone fractures are a common occurrence in trauma cases, particularly in India where road traffic accidents contribute significantly. Over the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a potent instrument to help medical professionals diagnose and treat facial fractures. This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis, that is, a quantitative and qualitative analysis, of publications focusing on the role of AI in detecting facial bone fractures.

A 50-year-old female presented with a 10-day history of progressive swelling and pain in the left lower extremity, ultimately diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS). Initial ultrasound indicated thrombosis involving the left external iliac, femoral, and popliteal veins, among others. Blood tests revealed normocytic anemia, but thrombophilia screening and other blood markers were normal.
