#Fungal infections are hard to treat due to #DrugResistance. @blakebillmyre.bsky.social &co use a high-throughput #TNseq system in #Cryptococcus neoformans to identify >1400 essential genes & reveal a role for #mitochondrial genes in #fluconazole sensitivity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4dz3iVm

Enjoyed my first visit to Clemson for the CBEP/EPIC meeting. Great science and a really nice view!

New paper on meiotic drive from the Zanders lab!
