Long-read transcriptomics of Ostreid herpesvirus 1 uncovers a conserved expression strategy for the capsid maturation module and pinpoints a mechanism for evasion of the ADAR-based antiviral defence

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1), a member of the family Malacoherpesviridae (order Herpesvirales), is a major pathogen of bivalves. However, the molecular details of the malacoherpesvirus infection cycle and its overall similarity to the replication of mammalian herpesviruses (family Orthoherpesviridae) remain obscure. Here, to gain insights into the OsHV-1 biology, we performed long-read sequencing of...
