Long-read transcriptomics of caviid gammaherpesvirus 1: compiling a comprehensive RNA atlas [PDF]
Caviid gammaherpesvirus 1 (CaGHV-1), formerly known as the guinea pig herpes-like virus, is an oncogenic gammaherpesvirus with a sequenced genome but an as-yet uncharacterized transcriptome. Using nanopore long-read RNA sequencing, we annotated the CaGHV-

B cell-intrinsic IRF-1 and conserved gammaherpesvirus protein kinase cooperate to promote murine gammaherpesvirus-driven germinal center response and splenic latent reservoir [PDF]
Gammaherpesviruses infect >90% of adults and are associated with B cell lymphomas. These viruses drive the expansion and differentiation of germinal center B cells to amplify latent viral reservoir and ensure life-long infection of memory B cells ...

Targeting Host Metabolic and Epigenetic Rewiring Blocks Lytic Gammaherpesvirus Production [PDF]
Gammaherpesviruses are oncogenic viruses that reprogram host cell metabolism to support viral production. Among these, murine herpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) serves as a model system for studying lytic gammaherpesvirus infection and associated host cell changes.

Gammaherpesvirus infection unveils exaggerated germinal center responses in an SR-BI-deficient host [PDF]
Lipid metabolism has emerged as an important regulator of acute viral infections by affecting viral replication and the host immune response. In contrast, the role of host lipid metabolism during chronic viral infection has been less explored.
