A375 cells stably integrated with SAM Cas9 and effector components were transduced with SAM sgRNA libraries as described above at an MOI of 0.2, with a minimal representation of 500 transduced cells/guide. Cells were maintained at >500 cells/guide during subsequent passaging. At 7 DPI (complete selection, see above), cells were split into vehicle (DMSO) and PLX-4720 conditions (2 µM PLX-4720 dissolved in DMSO, Selleckchem). Cells were passaged every 2 days for a total of 14 days of drug treatment. >500 cells/guide were harvested as a baseline at 3 DPI (4 days before treatment) and at 21 DPI (after 14 days of treatment) for gDNA extraction. Genomic DNA was extracted using the Zymo Quick-gDNA midi kit (Zymo Research). PCR of the virally integrated guides was performed on gDNA at the equivalent of >500 cells/guide in 96 parallel reactions using NEBnext High Fidelity 2× Master Mix (New England Biolabs) in a single-step reaction of 22 cycles. Primers are listed below:

PCR products from all 96 reactions were pooled, purified using Zymo-Spin™ V with Reservoir (Zymo research) and gel extracted using the Zymoclean™ Gel DNA Recovery Kit (Zymo research). Resulting libraries were deep-sequenced on Illumina MiSeq and HiSeq platforms with a total coverage of >35 million reads passing filter per library.
