Packaging of noncoding RNAs into herpesvirus virions: Comparisons to coding RNAs

The herpesviruses are a family of large DNA viruses capable of establishing lifelong infections. Recent reports have shown that herpesviruses package noncoding RNA into virions; this follows earlier observations showing that coding RNAs are detected in virions. Packaging RNAs allows for their func...
