Abstract excerpt
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) encodes a cluster of viral microRNAs (miRNAs) that remain abundantly expressed during latency, when viral protein production is restricted. Naturally occurring single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within this locus are common, yet their functional consequences for miRNA output and host gene regulation remain poorly defined. Peripheral blood leukocytes from 53 naturally BLV-infected...
