    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    Cells and viruses: Calu3 cells (ATCC HTB-55) were cultured in 6-well or 10cm plates with RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS)
    Calu3
    suggested: ATCC Cat# HTB-55, RRID:CVCL_0609)
    It was propagated (5 passages) and tittered on Vero E6 cells and then sequenced 9 before it was used.
    Vero E6
    suggested: RRID:CVCL_XD71)
    293T cells were transfected using JetPEI (Polyplus-transfection) following the manufacturer’s instructions.
    293T
    suggested: NCBI_Iran Cat# C498, RRID:CVCL_0063)
    Software and Algorithms
    SentencesResources
    Alignment was performed using Bowtie v1.1.2 52 with maximum two mismatches per read.
    Bowtie
    suggested: (Bowtie, RRID:SCR_005476)
    Junctions spanning reads were quantified using STAR 2.5.3a aligner 53, with running flags as suggested by 44, to overcome filtering of non-canonical junctions.
    STAR
    suggested: (STAR, RRID:SCR_015899)
    Pathway enrichment analysis: Enrichment analysis of cellular pathways in specific gene clusters was done with PANTHER version 15.0, with default settings and the PANTHER pathways data set 54,55.
    PANTHER
    suggested: (PANTHER, RRID:SCR_004869)

    Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).

    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.
