New findings reveal the surprisingly complex protein-coding capacity of the human cytomegalovirus, or HCMV, and provide the first steps toward understanding how the virus manipulates human cells during infection. The genome of the HCMV was first sequenced over 20 years ago, but researchers have now investigated the proteome - the complete set of expressed proteins - of this common pathogen as well. HCMV is an incredibly successful virus, and it infects most humans on the planet...
