Abstract excerpt
At late times during a lytic infection human adenovirus type 5 produces ∼10(8) copies per cell of virus-associated RNA I (VA RNAI). This short highly structured RNA polymerase III transcript has previously been shown to be essential for lytic virus growth. A fraction of VA RNAI is processed by Dicer into small RNAs, so-called mivaRNAIs, which are efficiently incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex....
