Latency is a hallmark of most herpesviruses, during which the viral genomes are silenced through DNA methylation and suppressive histone modifications. DNA methylation, repressive histone modifications, and other bad gene expression regulatory mechanisms[7C11]. When the latent virus reactivates, prompt epigenetic changes occur, leading to transactivation of the viral genome. However, our recent study discovered that… Continue reading Latency is a hallmark of most herpesviruses, during which the viral
