摘要
Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, affects millions of individuals around the world. Although it has been known for more than a century, the study of T. cruzi has been a challenge, particularly due to the scarcity of tools for genome inquiries. Recently, strategies have been described allowing gene disruption in T. cruzi by the CRISPR/Cas9 nuclease system. Although these strategies demonstrated success in deleting some genes, several aspects could be improved to increase the efficiency of the CRISPR/Cas9 system in T. cruzi. Here, we report a strategy, based on adaptations and improvements of the two previously described systems, that results in efficient gene disruption that can be applied to any target, including the study of essential genes.
