Characterization of novel transcripts of human papillomavirus type 16 using cap analysis gene expression technology.

ABSTRACT: We have performed cap-analysis gene expression (CAGE) sequencing to identify the regulatory networks that orchestrate genome-wide transcription in human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16)-positive cervical cell lines of different grades: W12E, SiHa, and CaSki. Additionally, a cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN1) lesion was assessed for identifying the transcriptome expression profile. Here we have precisely identified a novel antisense noncoding viral transcript in HPV16. In conclusion, CAGE sequencing should pave the way for understanding a diversity of viral transcript expression.
