RNA silencing processes are guided by small RNAs that are derivedfrom double-stranded RNA. To probe for function of RNA silencingduring infection of human cells by a DNA virus, we recordedthe small RNA profile of cells infected by Epstein-Barr virus(EBV). We show that EBV expresses several microRNA (miRNA) genes.Given that miRNAs function in RNA silencing pathways eitherby targeting messenger RNAs for degradation or by repressingtranslation, we identified viral regulators of host and/or viralgene expression.
