Cis regulation within a cluster of viral microRNAs

Monika Vilimova, Maud Contrant, Ramy Randrianjafy…·Aurélie Fender

The paper investigates cis regulation of viral microRNA clusters in KSHV, showing that specific pre-miRNAs influence the expression of the entire cluster and can be targeted to inhibit miRNA production.
