This study identifies VILMIR as a long noncoding RNA that enhances the host interferon response by interacting with transcriptional and translational regulators in human epithelial cells.

This study identifies VILMIR, a novel lncRNA upregulated by respiratory viral infections and IFN-β, which modulates the host interferon response.

The paper develops ferret immune repertoire reference resources and assays using long-read transcriptome sequencing and genome annotation.
