Defined as the cumulative reduction in live cell number relative to uninduced controls at day of assay. TOP1BS, TOP1BL, and PEX19 knockdowns were assayed on day 2 post induction of RNAi, while PFTB and NOPP44/46 knockdowns were assayed on day 3 and TOPIImt on day 6. KREPA3 was assayed five days after removal of Tet.
