In this mSphere of Influence article, he reflects on how the papers “Systematic Genetic Analysis of Virulence in the Human Fungal Pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans” (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2008.07.046) and “Unraveling the Biology of a Fungal Meningitis Pathogen Using Chemical Genetics” (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2014.10.044) by the Noble and Madhani groups influenced his thinking by showcasing the various modern applications of yeast genetics in an organism where genetic manipulation was difficult.
