HCMV micrRNAs expressed during latency
Distinct expression of only 9 HCMV-miRs during CMV latency
Reactivation from latency restores expression of all HCMV encoded microRNAs.
HCMV alternatively expresses the two arms of mir-US29 in lytic and latency phases.
Application of the approach useful to study other viral miRNAs during latency
