Title: Viral Integration and Consequences on Host Gene Expression Cord-id: 5tysuiuw Document date: 2012_9_25
ID: 5tysuiuw
Snippet: Upon cell infection, some viruses integrate their genome into the host chromosome, either as part of their life cycle (such as retroviruses), or incidentally. While possibly promoting long-term persistence of the virus into the cell, viral genome integration may also lead to drastic consequences for the host cell, including gene disruption, insertional mutagenesis and cell death, as well as contributing to species evolution. This review summarizes the current knowledge on viruses integrating the
