CRISPR screens are widely utilized to identify genes that regulate immune function or mediate sensitivity of cancer cells to immune attack. In this issue of Immunity, Zeng et al. present a computational framework for uncovering gene targets with dual function in both cancer and immune cells and nominate TNFAIP3 as a synergistic target whose ablation strongly elicits an antitumor response.
