TL;DR: Small sizes and the limited quantities that can usually be obtained from patient-derived samples pose a number of challenges to their isolation, study and characterization, which are discussed in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
A CRISPR Cas9 high-throughput genome editing toolkit for kinetoplastids.
TL;DR: A CRISPR-Cas9 toolkit that allows rapid tagging and gene knockout in diverse kinetoplastid species without requiring the user to perform any DNA cloning is reported, enabling for the first time rapid and large-scale knockout screens.
