Uncovering the essential genome of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum by saturation mutagenesis

open access: yesScience, 2018
Saturating malaria mutagenesis Malaria is caused by eukaryotic Plasmodium spp. parasites that classically infect red blood cells. These are difficult organisms to investigate genetically because of their AT-rich genomes. Zhang et al.
