Hi, I am trying to identify genes that are essential for my target cells. According to the introduction, if the score is close to -1, it means that the gene is essential for the cells. However, I have noticed that the score is often less than -1. How is this possible, and what does this mean? Additionally, if I want to identify the essential genes, what is the best threshold I should set to obtain meaningful results? Thanks.
