A modular CRISPR screen identifies individual and combination pathways contributing to HIV-1 latency

Abstract excerpt

Transcriptional silencing of latent HIV-1 proviruses entails complex and overlapping mechanisms that pose a major barrier to in vivo elimination of HIV-1. We developed a new latency CRISPR screening strategy, called Latency HIV-CRISPR which uses the packaging of guideRNA-encoding lentiviral vector genomes into the supernatant of budding virions as a direct readout of factors involved in the maintenance of HIV-1...
