mSphere of Influence: Expanding the CRISPR Sphere with Single-Locus Proteomics

ABSTRACT Lucy Glover’s research focuses on the role of DNA repair and recombination in antigenic variation in the parasite Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of both human and animal African trypanosomiasis. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how “A CRISPR-based approach for...
