(Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research) Whitehead researchers have developed a new approach for genetics in human cells and used this technique to identify specific genes and proteins required for pathogens.
With the ability to generate knockout cells for most human genes, the authors were able to find genes used by pathogens to enter and kill human cells.
The identification of such factors could aid the future development of new therapeutics to combat infectious disease.
