Description of candidate mRNAs selected for further validation.

aExpression level of mRNA was calculated using an algorithm as previously described (D. Vereide et al., manuscript submitted).bPredicted EBV miRNAs targeted to cellular mRNA were analyzed by PITA algorithms (26).The mRNAs enriched in the immunoprecipitates of RISCs from BJAB BART relative to BJAB Empty cells were evaluated based on the criteria described. Candidates selected for further validation are listed with their predicted binding sites for EBV miRNAs and their assigned functions.
