Whether DNA viruses contact specific regions of host genomes or make random contacts is unclear. Here, the authors use Hi-C and show that HBV cccDNA and Ad5 DNA contact preferentially active chromatin at CpG islands for the former and at transcription ...

Dissemination of Internal Ribosomal Entry Sites (IRES) Between Viruses by Horizontal Gene Transfer
Members of Picornaviridae and of the Hepacivirus, Pegivirus and Pestivirus genera of Flaviviridae all contain an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) in the 5′-untranslated region (5′UTR) of their genomes. Each class of IRES has a conserved structure and

Identification of a pegivirus (GBV-like virus) that infects horses [PDF]
The recent identification of nonprimate hepaciviruses in dogs and then in horses prompted us to look for pegiviruses (GB virus-like viruses) in these species.

Significant down-regulation of growth hormone receptor expression revealed as a new unfavorable prognos- tic factor in hepatitis C virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Background/Aims Growth hormone (GH) is the main regulator of somatic growth, metabolism, and gender dimorphism in the liver. GH receptor (GHR) signaling in cancer is derived from a large body of evidence, although the GHR signaling pathway involved in ...

Identification of GBV-D, a novel GB-like flavivirus from Old World frugivorous Bats (Pteropus giganteus) in Bangladesh [PDF]
Bats are reservoirs for a wide range of zoonotic agents including lyssa-, henipah-, SARS-like corona-, Marburg-, Ebola-, and astroviruses. In an effort to survey for the presence of other infectious agents, known and unknown, we screened sera from 16 ...

Therapy of chronic hepatitis C: Virologic response monitoring [PDF]
Background/Aim. Virological testing is considered to be essential in the management of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in order to diagnose infection, and, most importantly, as a quide for treatment decisions and assess the virological response to ...
