Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus-Encoded circRNAs Are Expressed in Infected Tumor Tissues and Are Incorporated into Virions

KSHV has recently been found to encode circRNAs. circRNAs result from back-splicing of an upstream pre-mRNA splice donor exon-intron junction to an acceptor site, generating a covalently closed circle. This study revealed that for one KSHV region, the PAN/K7.3 locus, broadly and bidirectionally gene...
