| BioModel Description | HeLa cells for screening siGenome from Dharmacon (DGW), comprising a single pool of four siRNAs for 18,120 genes, and Ambion Silencer Select Version 4 (AGW), a nonpooled library of three independent siRNAs for 21,566 genes. A recombinant VACV IHD-J/GFP d | |
| Confirmatory Screen Description | Confirmed hits were defined as a gene with significant decrease in virus spread with at least two different siRNA reagents (from a third company, Qiagen). | |
| Primary Screen Description# | A <-1.5 MAD decrease in virus spread with at least two different siRNA reagents from the same or different libraries and a similar number with an increase in virus spread were considered hits. The siRNAs inducing a >50% reduction in cell count were filter | |
