HIV-1 RNAs are Not Part of the Argonaute 2 Associated RNA Interference Pathway in Macrophages.
BACKGROUND:MiRNAs and other small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) are key players in post-transcriptional gene regulation.HIV-1 derived small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) have been described in HIV-1 infected cells, but their biological functions still remain to be elucidated.Here, we approached the question whether viral sncRNAs may play a role in the RNA in
