Adenovirus in the omics era - a multipronged strategy.

Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are common pathogens associated with a wide variety of respiratory, ocular, and gastrointestinal diseases. To achieve its effective lytic mode of replication, HAdVs have to reprogram host-cell gene expression and fine-tune viral gene expression in a temporal manner. In two decades, omics revolution has advanced our knowledge about the HAdV and host-cell interplay at the RNA and protein levels. This review summarizes the current knowledge from large-scale datasets on how HAdV infections adjust coding and noncoding RNA expression, as well as how they reprogram host-cell proteome during the lytic course of infection.
