Well done @fratorelli.bsky.social @simon-butterworth.bsky.social and Diogo! Great to have this out - the complication of paracrine rescue in pooled CRISPR screens
Moritz Treeck@moritztreeck.bsky.social · 2y agoThe hypothesis for this work was formed when we expectedly observed some Toxoplasma mutants with known fitness defects not showing defects in in vivo CRISPR screens. The results indicate that CRISPR screens can miss important virulence factors through paracine effects that function in the host.
At the home of Scottish football for the 50th annual Scottish Microscopy Symposium! Highlight so far is exceptional work by K Bondarenko from the Young lab in Edinburgh on ExM of Toxoplasma gondii cysts, more details at pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39189782/
Lucky to have @toxobrains.bsky.social in town this year to join our lab Christmas fun. A good start to my return from maternity leave!
