Extended Data Table 1. Tumor-enriched shRNAs from secondary screen.

Secondary screens were performed with a total of ~15 shRNAs for each gene of interest. a, Results from secondary screen of T cell dysfunction pool shRNA library. Genes for which at least 3 shRNAs showed ≥4 fold enrichment in tumors are listed, along with a brief description of their function. b, Results from secondary screen of kinase and phosphatase shRNA libraries.
