Three recent screens use siRNAs to identify host genes that are critical for HIV-1 replication. These screens have uncovered hundreds of human genes not previously known to be commandeered by the virus during infection. Although some caveats remain, this screening approach opens up a new landscape of viral-host interactions for future exploration.
最近的三项筛选利用小干扰RNA(siRNA)来识别对HIV-1复制至关重要的宿主基因。这些筛选发现了数百个人类基因,这些基因在感染过程中以前不被认为会被病毒征用。尽管仍有一些注意事项,但这种筛选方法为未来的探索开辟了病毒-宿主相互作用的新领域。
