A Two-tiered functional screen identifies herpesviral transcriptional modifiers and their essential domains.

While traditional methods for studying large DNA viruses allow the creation of individual mutants, CRISPR/Cas9 can be used to rapidly create thousands of mutant dsDNA viruses in parallel, enabling the pooled screening of entire viral genomes. Here, we applied this approach to Kaposi's sarcoma-a...
