A genome-wide CRISPR screen identifies N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase as a potential antiviral target for Ebola virus

Genetic screens are important tools to identify host factors associated with viral infections. Here, Flint et al. perform a genome-wide CRISPR screen using infectious Ebola virus (EBOV) and show that the host transferase GNPTAB is required for EBOV infection and a potential target for antiviral ther...
