Virus-induced transposable element expression up-regulation in human and mouse host cells

Abstract excerpt

Virus-host cell interactions initiate a host cell-defensive response during virus infection. How transposable elements in the host cell respond to viral stress at the molecular level remains largely unclear. By reanalyzing next generation sequencing data sets from dozens of virus infection studies from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, we found that genome-wide transposon expression up-regulation in host...
