The Open Chromatin Landscape of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus
29 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is an oncogenic gammaherpesvirus which establishes latent infection in endothelial and B cells, as well as in primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). During latency, the viral genome exists as a circular DNA minichromosome (episome) and is packaged into chromatin analogous to human chromosomes. Only a small subset of promoters, those which drive latent RNAs, are active in...
