Functional dissection of human targets for KSHV-encoded miRNAs using network analysis

Abstract Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the etiological agent of Kaposi’s sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and multicentric Castleman’s disease, etc. In this study, we firstly systematically constructed the KSHV-encoded miRNA-regulated co-expressed protein-protein interaction ne...
