    Antibodies
    SentencesResources
    After sonication, sheared chromatin was immunoprecipitated with H3K27ac antibody (Abcam, ab177178) and Protein A magnetic beads (Invitrogen, 10002D) overnight at 4°C.
    H3K27ac
    suggested: (Abcam Cat# ab177178, RRID:AB_2828007)
    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    Also, the antagomirs for HIS-SARS2-1, HIS-SARS2-2, HIS-SARS2-3, HIS-SARS2-4, HIS-SARS2-5, and HIS-SARS-1 were purchased from Guangzhou RiboBio Co., Ltd.
    HIS-SARS-1
    suggested: None
    Lentivirus Package and Cell Screening: We co-transfected pCDH-pre-HIS, pSPAX2, and pMD2G plasmids into HEK293T cells in a ratio of 4:3:1.2 and collected the virus supernatant by filtering cell culture supernatant with 0.45 filters at 48 hours after changing the serum-containing medium.
    HEK293T
    suggested: None
    Software and Algorithms
    SentencesResources
    Viral Genome and Human Genome Blast: Human reference genome (hg38) was obtained from GenBank using Blastn (Chen et al., 2015) with SARS-CoV-2 as a query.
    Blastn
    suggested: (BLASTN, RRID:SCR_001598)
    The detail parameters were chosen as follow: 1) The Maximum number of hits to report:500; 2) Maximum E-value for reported alignments: 10; 3) Word size for seeding alignments: 11; 4) the match/Mismatch scores: 1,-3; 5) Gap penalties: Openging:2, Extension:2; 6) Filter low complexity regions; 7) Filter query sequences using RepeatMasker.
    RepeatMasker
    suggested: (RepeatMasker, RRID:SCR_012954)
    Gene Function Annotation: KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) and Gene Ontology analysis on the surrounding (±500kb) genes of the identical sequences of HIS in human genome were performed using DAVID (Huang da et al., 2009).
    KEGG
    suggested: (KEGG, RRID:SCR_012773)
    DAVID
    suggested: (DAVID, RRID:SCR_001881)

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
