Project description:Dengue virus is an + strand RNA virus. We have carried our infections of human cells with Dengue and analyzed the translation, replication, and localization of the Dengue RNA. This allowed for clear definition of the life cycle of the Dengue virus inside a host cell. We also assessed the host response to Dengue virus, finding that a large fraction of the translational response is due to Interferon function. Translational and transcriptional analysis of the cellular response to Dengue virus infection

Project description:To study the role of Dengue virus serotype 4 NS1 in modulation of host cell transcriptome we performed gene expression profiling using data obtained from RNA- sequencing of total RNA from 3 different samples: Huh7 cells (no transfection), Huh7 cells transfected with pTracer-SV40 empty vector and Huh7 cells transfected with pTracer-SV40 encoding dengue virus serotype 4 NS1 (pDENV4 NS1).
Project description:Microarray data was used to study the gene expression changes following dengue infection at various time points to identify host genes and pathways responsible for dengue virus replication Keywords: time course
