Nature Microbiology, Published online: 25 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02383-7 We developed a scalable pooled CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) platform for the prominent fungal pathogen Candida albicans, enabling portable, high-throughput functional genomic analysis of essential genes across diverse environmental conditions and strain backgrounds. This approach identified conserved fungus-specif…
