Excited to share our new paper, co-led by Gracyn Buenconsejo and me.
Why did a promising anti-#Cryptosporidium drug fail?
We asked whether the parasite itself might already be genetically prepared to escape treatment.

Genomic heterogeneity of NAD(P)H dehydrogenase predisposes Cryptosporidium to clofazimine resistance - Nature Microbiology
Forward and reverse genetics identifies the mode of action of clofazimine in the parasite Cryptosporidium. The genomic locus encoding the target is heterogeneous, and a resistance-conferring allele is...

Ultramutagenesis through combined Msh2 depletion and proofreading-deficient DNA polymerase ε expression enhances small molecule target identification in forward genetic screens
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency has been widely utilized in forward genetic screens to identify drug resistance mutations and elucidate the mechanisms of action of cytotoxic small molecules. Howe...
