  • Lysogenic cycles can also occur in eukaryotes, although the method of DNA incorporation is not fully understood. (wikipedia.org)
  • This is accomplished in 3 ways: 1) competitive inhibition of viral DNA polymerase, 2) incorporation into and termination of the growing viral DNA chain, and 3) inactivation of the viral DNA polymerase. (nih.gov)
  • RNA splicing plays important roles in viral replication and virus-host interactions 38 . (nature.com)
  • Promoters, enhancers and physical interactions between regions of DNA are important in ways that are only now becoming apparent, directing phases of development, and often perturbed in cancers. (birmingham.ac.uk)
  • Detailed analysis of the splicing junctions showed clusters of AS events occurred in two regions of the virus genome, demonstrating that transcriptome analysis could gain valuable insights into viral splicing. (nature.com)
  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a double-stranded DNA virus and is a member of the Herpesviridae family. (medscape.com)
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus. (genome.jp)
  • Additionally, UDG and apurinic-apyrimidinic endonuclease treatment of viral DNA isolated from phi29-infected cells revealed that uracil residues arise in phi29 DNA during replication, probably as a result of misincorporation of dUMP by the phi29 DNA polymerase. (nih.gov)
  • Furthermore, transfection activity of uracil-containing phi29 DNA was significantly higher in cells that constitutively synthesized p56 than in cells lacking this protein. (nih.gov)
  • RNA-DNA hybrids are formed during DNA copying (replication) and are found in all cells. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Such disruptions are thought to lead to the accumulation of unneeded DNA and RNA in cells. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Eighteen years later, the authors subcloned these cells to produce cell lines containing LCMV DNA. (virology.ws)
  • Highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) works by blocking HIV replication at various steps but does not eliminate the infected cells. (genengnews.com)
  • In resting cells, APOBEC3G is found in a small protein complex and blocks HIV replication. (natap.org)
  • For example, HIV-1 enters the cells of Old World monkeys but the rhesus monkey version of TRIM5a blocks viral replication much more efficiently than by human TRIM5a. (natap.org)
  • Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) attaches to target cells and releases the capsid, an essential component of the viral core that contains viral RNA, into the cytoplasm. (bvsalud.org)
  • The recent incursions of African swine fever (ASF), a severe, highly contagious, transboundary viral disease that affects members of the Suidae family, in Europe and China have had a catastrophic impact on trade and pig production, with serious implications for global food security. (mdpi.com)
  • There's the pleasure of knowing that we need to hear "viral" in "contagious" in order to get the joke about shared behavior on and off the Internet, tweeting and yawning (and the satisfaction of knowing that she knows that we know that in stopping short of an explicit coronavirus allusion she is making a point). (nybooks.com)
  • The viral pentameric protein complex consisting of glycoprotein H (gH)/gL/UL128-131A (PC) is considered to be an important vaccine component. (asm.org)
