Deskripsi

Targeted CRISPR libraries expand the use of genetic screens across experimental conditions. Here, the authors develop a method for generating and analysing small scale custom CRISPR libraries and use it in the human and livestock pathogen Toxoplasma gondii to identify virulence factors in mice.
