Targeted CRISPR screens reveal genes essential for Cryptosporidium survival in the host intestine - Nature Communications
Cryptosporidium is an important threat to public health, yet it lacks a robust genetic toolkit. Here, Watson et al. introduce a targeted CRISPR-based screening method to identify parasite genes that a...
