Integrative analysis of ATAC-seq and RNA-seq for cells infected by human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 [PDF]
PLOS Comput. Biol. 21(1), e1012690 (2025), 2023 Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) causes adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (HAM) after a long latent period in a fraction of infected individuals. These HTLV-1-infected cells typically have phenotypes similar to that of CD4${^+}$ T cells, but the cell status is not well understood.
