Marek's disease virus-encoded microRNA-M6-5p suppresses viral replication by targeting UL42.
Marek's disease virus (MDV) is a highly contagious and oncogenic avian alphaherpesvirus that causes severe economic losses on the global poultry industry. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of endogenous noncoding RNAs typically 20-25 nucleotides in length, are crucial regulators of post-transcriptional genes expression. Our...
