CRISPR-based functional genomics for schistosomes and related flatworms.
CRISPR genome editing is actively used for schistosomes and other flukes. The ability to genetically manipulate these flatworms enables deeper investigation of their (patho)biological nature. CRISPR gene knockout (KO) demonstrated that a liver fluke growth mediator contributes to disease progression. Genome safe harbor sites have been predicted in Schistosoma mansoni and targeted for transgene insertion. CRISPR-based diagnosis has been demonstrated for infection with schistosomes and Opisthorchis viverrini. This review charts the progress, and the state of play, and posits salient questions for the field to address. Derivation of heritably transgenic loss-of-function or gain-of-function lines is the next milestone.
期刊介绍:
Since its inception as Parasitology Today in 1985, Trends in Parasitology has evolved into a highly esteemed review journal of global significance, reflecting the importance of medical and veterinary parasites worldwide. The journal serves as a hub for communication among researchers across all disciplines of parasitology, encompassing endoparasites, ectoparasites, transmission vectors, and susceptible hosts.
Each monthly issue of Trends in Parasitology offers authoritative, cutting-edge, and yet accessible review articles, providing a balanced and comprehensive overview, along with opinion pieces offering personal and novel perspectives. Additionally, the journal publishes a variety of short articles designed to inform and stimulate thoughts in a lively and widely-accessible manner. These include Science & Society (discussing the interface between parasitology and the general public), Spotlight (highlighting recently published research articles), Forum (presenting single-point hypotheses), Parasite/Vector of the Month (featuring a modular display of the selected species), Letter (providing responses to recent articles in Trends in Parasitology), and Trendstalk (conducting interviews). Please note that the journal exclusively publishes literature reviews based on published data, with systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and unpublished primary research falling outside our scope.
