A spliced latency-associated VZV transcript maps antisense to the viral transactivator gene 61

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) establishes lifelong infection in the majority of the population, but mechanisms underlying latency remain unclear. Here, the authors use ultra-deep RNA sequencing, enriched for viral RNAs, of latently infected human trigeminal ganglia and identify a spliced, latency-ass...
