Vero E6suggested: NoneSoftware and Algorithms Sentences Resources For Weingarten-Gabby et al. 2020, a nested design for DE was needed and DESeq2 failed to run properly, and limma-voom (Law et al. 2014) was used. DESeq2suggested: (DESeq, RRID:SCR_000154)For metabolic pathways (in Figure 1E), those under the category “Metabolism” from KEGG (Kanehisa et al. 2021) were used. KEGGsuggested: (KEGG, RRID:SCR_012773)Lists of experimentally validated drugs reported in different studies compiled by Kuleshov et al. 2020 were downloaded from https://maayanlab.cloud/covid19/, which are then mapped to the genes they inhibit using data from DrugBank v5.1.7 (Wishart et al. 2018). DrugBanksuggested: (DrugBank, RRID:SCR_002700)STAR (Dobin et al. 2013) was used to align the reads to reference genome of the African green monkey (Chlorocebus sabaeus, https://useast.ensembl.org/Chlorocebus_sabaeus/Info/Annotation), with the SARS-CoV-2 genome (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NC_045512) added to the reference genome. STARsuggested: (STAR, RRID:SCR_015899)The R packages ggplot2 (Wickham 2016), ComplexHeatmap (Gu et al. 2016) and visNetwork (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/visNetwork/index.html) were used to create the visualizations. ggplot2suggested: (ggplot2, RRID:SCR_014601)ComplexHeatmapsuggested: (ComplexHeatmap, RRID:SCR_017270)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).
Results from LimitationRecognizer: An explicit section about the limitations of the techniques employed in this study was not found. We encourage authors to address study limitations.Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.
Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.
Results from JetFighter: Please consider improving the rainbow (“jet”) colormap(s) used on page 27. At least one figure is not accessible to readers with colorblindness and/or is not true to the data, i.e. not perceptually uniform.
