A CRISPR/Cas9 genetically engineered organoid biobank reveals essential host factors for coronaviruses

Rapid identification of host genes essential for virus replication may expedite the generation of therapeutic interventions. Here the authors generate mutant clonal intestinal organoids for 19 host genes previously implicated in coronavirus biology and identify the cell surface protease TMPRSS2 as a...
