EBV finds a polycomb-mediated, epigenetic solution to the problem of oncogenic stress responses triggered by infection

Abstract excerpt

Viruses that establish a persistent infection, involving intracellular latency, commonly stimulate cellular DNA synthesis and sometimes cell division early after infection. However, most cells of metazoans have evolved "fail-safe" responses that normally monitor unscheduled DNA synthesis and prevent cell proliferation when, for instance, cell proto-oncogenes are "activated" by mutation, amplification, or...
