    • CRISPR/Cas9 and genetic screens in malaria parasites : small genomes, big impact 

      Ishizaki, Takahiro; Hernandez, Sophia; Paoletta, Martina; Sanderson, Theo; Bushell, Ellen S. C. (Portland Press, 2022-06)
      The ∼30 Mb genomes of the Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria each encode ∼5000 genes, but the functions of the majority remain unknown. This is due to a paucity of functional annotation from sequence homology, which ...
