Role of virus-encoded microRNAs in herpesvirus biology

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short RNAs of about 22 nucleotides in length that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by binding to 3’ untranslated regions of mRNAs, thereby inducing translational silencing. Recently, more than 140 miRNAs have been identified in the genomes of herpesviruses. Deci...
