CRISPR interference screen to identify essential gene knockdowns with an effect on ICEBs1 conjugation
A CRISPR interference screen was carried out to block transcription of essential Bacillus subtilis genes and identify bacterial host factors that are important for the life cycle of the integrative and conjugative element ICEBs1. The purpose of this project is to further our understanding of how conjugative elements interact with their bacterial hosts.
