Abstract

Here, Israeli and Finkel et al. perform genome-wide CRISPR knockout screens to identify host factors required for the infection with SARS-CoV-2 and two additionally variants of concern, Alpha and Beta, unveiling shared and differential host pathways required by the variants, and demonstrate GATA6 is critical for SARS-CoV-2 viral entry through modulation of ACE2 expression.
