==Viruses==
Viral microRNAs play an important role in the [[regulation of gene expression]] of viral and/or host genes to benefit the [[virus]]. Hence, miRNAs play a key role in [[Host–pathogen interaction|host–virus interactions]] and pathogenesis of [[viral disease]]s.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Qureshi A, Thakur N, Monga I, Thakur A, Kumar M | title = VIRmiRNA: a comprehensive resource for experimentally validated viral miRNAs and their targets | journal = Database | volume = 2014 | pages = bau103 | date = 1 January 2014 | pmid = 25380780 | pmc = 4224276 | doi = 10.1093/database/bau103 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | vauthors = Kumar M |title = VIRmiRNA | website = Resource for experimental viral miRNA and their targets | url = http://crdd.osdd.net/servers/virmirna| publisher = Bioinformatics center, CSIR-IMTECH }}</ref> The expression of transcription activators by ''[[human herpesvirus-6]]'' DNA is believed to be regulated by viral miRNA.<ref name="pmid22114334">{{cite journal | vauthors = Tuddenham L, Jung JS, Chane-Woon-Ming B, Dölken L, Pfeffer S | title = Small RNA deep sequencing identifies microRNAs and other small noncoding RNAs from human herpesvirus 6B | journal = Journal of Virology | volume = 86 | issue = 3 | pages = 1638–49 | date = February 2012 | pmid = 22114334 | pmc = 3264354 | doi = 10.1128/JVI.05911-11 }}</ref>
