The child-killer and famously recalcitrant parasite Cryptosporidium is the latest organism to yield to the magic of CRISPR/Cas9. The ability to knockout genes and introduce markers promises a new heyday for drug discovery and vaccine development as well as the basic biology of these fascinating parasites.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 August 2015.
All research outputs
#17,488,821
of 27,251,929 outputs
Outputs from Trends in Parasitology
#2,108
of 2,438 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#153,624
of 279,673 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Trends in Parasitology
#14
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,251,929 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,438 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.7. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 279,673 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
