05.26.20 progress update

We have now performed experiments in HT29 and HepG2 cells to test mitigation/synthetic lethality between remdesivir and drugs that impact mitochondrial function, following on our RNA-seq analysis showing reduced mitochondrial gene expression after remdesivir treatment (reproduced below:) . Our cell…

04.30.20 progress update

While analysis of our CRISPR screens and initial RdRP experiments are still ongoing, we are making progress analyzing and following up on the RNA-seq data on remdesivir and HCQ host response. HCQ: RNA-seq had identified upregulation of cholesterol metabolism genes…

Week 3 progress update

Here’s an update on our progress this week: RNA-seq We are actively analyzing and following up on the RNA-seq data we collected last week. We have uploaded the raw data and some processed files run through gene (DESeq2) and pathway…

Week 2 progress update

Fewer than two weeks after starting our experiments aimed at assessing genetic pathways mediating host toxicity of the SARS-CoV2 drugs remdesivir and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), we already have our first experiment finished. Here’s an update on our progress this week: RNA-seq…
