The paper adapts the SHERLOCK CRISPR-based detection tool for trypanosome species in pigs to improve AAT diagnostics and identify human-infectious trypanosome reservoirs.

The paper identifies phosphorylation sites in response to DNA breaks in Trypanosoma brucei and finds a specific RPA-1 phosphorylation event required for resection at a subtelomeric locus.

The paper investigates how the position of DNA double strand breaks influences gene expression and VSG switching pathway choice in Trypanosoma brucei.

This study shows RAD50 promotes homologous recombination and limits antigenic variation in Trypanosoma brucei by controlling DNA repair mechanisms.
