Epstein-Barr virus-mediated dysregulation of human microRNA expression
15 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a large class of small (approximately 22 nt) noncoding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression most often at the level of translation, and have been shown to be key regulators in a variety of processes including development, cell cycle and immunity. The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an oncogenic herpes virus endemic in humans that encodes at least twenty-two of its own miRNAs. Cellular...
