    Next, reads were aligned with STAR using the GRCh37 (hg19) human reference genome that included the complete genome sequences for all SARS-CoV-2 strains sequenced from California before March 24, 2020 (10 SARS-CoV-2 sequences).
    STAR
    suggested: (STAR, RRID:SCR_015899)
    Gene pathway and upstream regulator analysis was performed with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA; Qiagen).

    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.
