Development of a CRISPR/Cas9 knockout-complementation system for application in HIV host dependency factor analysis.
Baskaran, Joshua (Master thesis, 2020)Over the past two decades, substantial research has produced a vast array of HIV treatments. However, the rapid mutation rate of the virus has lead to high drug resistance against the treatments. To combat the rapid mutations ... -
