Viral and host network analysis of the human cytomegalovirus transcriptome in latency.

Donna K. Collins-McMillen, Diogo de Oliveira Pessôa, Kristen Zarrella…·Felicia D. Goodrum

The paper analyzes the transcriptional network of HCMV in latency by comparing gene expression with and without UL135 and UL138, revealing their roles in viral gene regulation and hematopoietic differentiation.
