Virus-induced paraspeckle-like condensates are essential hubs for gene expression and their formation drives genomic instability

Katherine L. Harper, Elena M. Harrington, Connor Hayward, Chinedu Anthony Anene, Wiyada Wongwiwat, Robert E. White, Adrian Whitehouse

This study shows virus-induced paraspeckle-like structures are critical for viral replication and contribute to genomic instability during KSHV and EBV infections.
