Abstract excerpt
Elucidating which host factors are exploited by viruses to infect target cells is key to our understanding of how these pathogens cause disease and how it might be counteracted by future therapies. Pooled gene-trap mutagenesis of haploid human HAP1 cells has proven to be a formidable tool for revealing genes involved in the infection process for a suite of human pathogenic viruses. This method has led to the...
