Genome-wide CRISPR screen reveals key role of sialic acids in PEDV and porcine coronavirus infections
6 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a globally distributed alphacoronavirus with economic importance that can cause severe watery diarrhea and even death in piglets. To identify host factors essential for PEDV infection, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (Huh7) using the highly virulent PEDV GIIb strain GDU. Several genes involved in the sialic acid and...
