A platform for robust quantitative functional genomics reveals temporal fitness landscapes in African trypanosomes

Simon D’Archivio, Lorenzo Brusini, Sandra Trindade…·Bill Wickstead

DRiF-Seq, a sequencing-optimized RNAi platform with a posteriori noise estimation, quantifies clone-resolved fitness genome-wide in pleomorphic Trypanosoma brucei; over half of core genes carry fitness costs.

A synthetic ancestral Kinesin-13 depolymerises microtubules faster than any natural depolymerising kinesin

Hannah R. Belsham, Hanan Al–Ghamdi, Nikita Dave…·Claire T. Friel

The paper creates a synthetic ancestral Kinesin-13 motor domain and shows it depolymerises microtubules faster than any known natural depolymerising kinesin.
