| Results | Phenotype | Inhibited infection |
| Hits Number* | 266 | |
| Confirmed Hits Number | 188 | |
| Score | NA | |
| Unit | NA | |
| Methods | Assay Type | Cell-based |
| BioModel Description | HeLa cells for screening the 7,000 druggable genome library (QIAGEN), three nonoverlapping siRNAs against each gene, and repeated independently three times | |
| Confirmatory Screen Description | siRNAs from a different vendor (Ambion) were used to validate confirmed hits using three additional siRNAs in a secondary follow-up screen (repeated independently three times). | |
| Primary Screen Description# | A hit was defined as a gene with two or three of the three siRNAs reduced VACV infection relative to controls (i.e., for the majority, the median over the triplicates of at least two siRNAs had a median absolute deviation less than -1.5 over the whole sc | |
