Abstract excerpt
Cryptococcus neoformans is the top-ranked W.H.O. fungal priority pathogen, but tools for generating conditional mutations are limited. Auxin-inducible degron systems permit rapid and effective cellular depletion of a tagged protein of interest upon adding a small molecule. These tools are invaluable, particularly for studying essential genes, which may play important roles in pathogen biology. AID2 is one such...
