The infection cycle of the haloarchaeal virus HFTV1 is tightly regulated and strongly inhibits motility of its host

Sabine Schwarzer, Leonard E. Bäcker, Jeroen G. Nijland, Ismail Hayani Aji, Anne de Jong, Cristina Moraru, Claudia Steglich, Tessa E. F. Quax

This paper analyzes the transcriptome of an archaeal virus and its host during infection, revealing tight temporal regulation and a role for anti-sense RNAs in viral gene expression, along with host motility suppression.
