Title: Genome-wide CRISPR activation screen identifies candidate receptors for SARS-CoV-2 entry.

Screen Details:

Notes:
  • To identify novel host factors that enable SARS-CoV-2 infection, a genome-wide CRISPRa gain-of-function screen using a SARS-CoV-2 spike-pseudotyped virus with an EGFP marker was carried out in HEK293T cells. Infected cells were sorted by FACS based on EGFP intensity which represented the strength of candidate host factors facilitating virus entry. The authors used a significance cutoff of RRA score < 0.001 . Gene hits are provided for cells with the top 2% of EGFP fluorescence intensity.
