A genome-wide CRISPR screen identifies a restricted set of HIV host dependency factors

Abstract

Nir Hacohen, Bruce Walker, David Sabatini, Eric Lander and colleagues perform a CRISPR–Cas9-based screen for host factors that are required for HIV infection. They identify two known and three novel factors that are necessary for viral infection but that are not required for cell viability, making them potential targets for antiviral therapy.
