     Evaluation Summary:

     Here authors present a robust, high-throughput and genome-wide strategy to identify genes that influence protein localization in individual subcellular compartments. The results profile subsets of genes that are involved in localization of tail-anchored proteins to mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum membranes and identify several unexpected regulators. This new tool is adaptable to studying various types of protein trafficking processes to shed light on their molecular mechanisms.
