This study tracks kidney-resident polyomavirus lineages in mice to show that urinary shedding is determined early and is not predicted by kidney viral abundance.

This paper shows PARP14 promotes IFN production and has both antiviral and proviral functions against multiple viruses.

Barcoded murine polyomavirus tracked in mouse urine shows many barcodes shed at low levels throughout infection, a few dominating high-level shedding late, and kidney implicated as a primary source.

The paper identifies viral DUSP11 homologs in avipoxviruses that modulate host RNA metabolism and immune response to enhance viral infection.

This study identifies circular RNAs encoded by human polyomaviruses that produce proteins and may contribute to viral pathogenesis.

The paper develops a compact shRNA expression system using retroviral miRNA gene architecture, reducing coding space needed for shRNA expression by over two-fold compared to U6/H1 promoters.
