Identification of functional regulatory elements in the human genome using pooled CRISPR screens.

abstract：BACKGROUND:While increasing data on bacterial evolution in controlled environments are available, our understanding of bacterial genome evolution in natural environments is limited. We thus performed full genome analyses on four Listeria monocytogenes, including human and food isolates from both a 1988 case of sporadic...
