The research community is in a race to understand the molecular mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection, to repurpose currently available antiviral drugs, and to develop new therapies and vaccines against COVID-19. One major challenge in achieving these goals is the paucity of suitable preclinical animal models. Mice constitute around 70 percent of all of laboratory animal species used in biomedical research. Unfortunately, SARS-CoV-2 only infects mice if they have been genetically modified to express human ACE2. The inherent resistance of wild-type mice to SARS-CoV-2, combined with a wealth of genetic tools that are only available for modifying mice, offer a unique opportunity to create a versatile set of genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) useful for COVID-19 research. We propose three broad categories of these models and more than two dozen designs that may be useful for SARS-CoV-2 research and for fighting COVID-19. In this Perspective, the authors discuss strategies for creating a versatile set of 30 genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) useful for COVID-19 research. Additionally, they provide the genetic blueprints needed for developing these GEMMs.
