Shou-Jiang Gao,Chris Boshoff,Sukhanya Jayachandra,Robin A. Weiss,Yuan Chang,Patrick S. Moore +5 more
TL;DR: This study suggests that vIRF is a transforming oncogene active in B cell neoplasias that may provide a unique immune escape mechanism for infected cells, consistent with tumor suppressor pathways serving a dual function as host cell antiviral pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclin encoded by KS herpesvirus
Journal ArticleDOI
The discovery of endogenous retroviruses
TL;DR: Some of the key observations in birds and mammals that led to the discovery of ERV are recounted, and comment on their evolution, cross-species dispersion, and what remains to be elucidated.
