Abstract

Infection with SARS-CoV-2 sets off a molecular arms race between virus replication and host cell defense. In this issue of Cell, Flynn, Belk, et al. integrate an advanced large-scale RNA-centered approach with custom CRISPR screens to functionally characterize the interactome of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome during infection.
