Coupling chemical mutagenesis to next generation sequencing for the identification of drug resistance mutations in Leishmania

Here, Bhattacharya et al. chemically mutagenize Leishmania and identify genes associated with resistance to miltefosine and paromomycin by next generation sequencing. The study shows that a protein kinase (CDPK1) can mediate resistance to paromomycin by affecting translation.
