abstract：:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was the first human cancer-causing virus to be discovered over fifty years ago. Given its relatively large genome size for a virus and hence the capacity to store more than mere protein-coding information, EBV also harbours genetic material for producing an array of distinct noncoding (nc)RNAs...
