HPV oncogenes expressed from only one of multiple integrated HPV DNA copies drive clonal cell expansion in cervical cancer

mBio
The integration of HPV DNA into human chromosomes plays a pivotal role in the onset of papillomavirus-related cancers. HPV DNA integration often occurs by linearizing the viral DNA in the E1/E2 region, resulting in the loss of a critical viral early ...

Comprehensive survey of conserved RNA secondary structures in full-genome alignment of Hepatitis C virus

Scientific Reports
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a plus-stranded RNA virus that often chronically infects liver hepatocytes and causes liver cirrhosis and cancer. These viruses replicate their genomes employing error-prone replicases. Thereby, they routinely generate a large ‘

Identification and Characterization of MmuPV1 Causing Papillomatosis Outbreak in an Animal Research Facility

Viruses
Mouse papillomavirus (MmuPV1) is the first papillomavirus known to infect laboratory mice, making it an irreplaceable tool for research on papillomaviruses. Despite wide use, standardized techniques for conducting MmuPV1 animal research are lacking.
