Huge shoutout to Marketa, our incredible committee member, for her outstanding work! 🔥.
I used inducible CRISPR/Cas9 to make Trypanosoma brucei cell line that allowed me to edit originally muti-copy histone gene. We uncovered a novel role of H4 histone tail in gene regulation. I had a great time working on this exciting project! .
