Upper panel: nine top hits, selected from 193 naïve BMDM fitness-conferring genes, with at least four sgRNAs present in the last passage of HFF control and ≥2-fold lower fitness (fitness score ≤ −1) in naïve BMDMs vs. HFF control. Genes with a mean Naïve BMDM fitness > −1.5 and a mean HFF control fitness < −1.5 were removed.

Lower panel: 16 top hits (not including TGGT1_269950), selected from 232 IFNγ fitness-conferring genes, with at least four sgRNAs present in the 3rd passage of naïve BMDMs and a ≥4-fold lower fitness (fitness score ≤ −2) in IFNγ vs. naïve BMDMs. Genes with a mean IFNγ fitness > −0.5 and a mean naïve BMDM fitness < 0 were removed. The genes are ranked according to the mean fitness (naïve BMDM vs. HFF control, upper panel; IFNγ vs. naïve BMDM, lower panel). See Supplementary Data 1 for the complete list.

aTGGT1_269950 was confirmed as an IFNγ fitness-conferring gene (Fig. 2f), although it does not fit the above criteria.
