It is not known whether there are cellular processes actively involved in maintenance of the latentviralgenome.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The fusion process allows release of theviralgenomeinto the cytoplasm, whereupon it migrates to the nucleus - the site of viral transcription and replication.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The structural (capsid) protein then probably packages theviralgenomet o form progeny virions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Specific downregulation of transcription from viral promoters might operate through inhibition ofviralgenome-specific mechanisms.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Once theviralgenomehas entered the cell, the virus hijacks the host cell's machinery and synthesizes multiple copies ofviralgenome.
From theCambridge English Corpus
To infect, theviralgenomemust enter the cell, either alone or as part of a viral nucleoprotein complex.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The accumulation of mutations in theviralgenomecan be enhanced through bottleneck events, such as those occurring during plaque-to-plaque transfers, or through the use of mutagens.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The virus must bind to cell-surface receptors of a new host cell, and fusion of the viral and cellular membranes must occur to transfer theviralgenomeinto the cell.
From theCambridge English Corpus
One of the major functions of a capsid is to introduce the enclosedviralgenomeinto host cells by adsorbing readily to host cell surfaces.
