RNA-seq data from DG75 cells with inducible BZLF1 prior to and after induction of EBV's lytic cycle by doxycycline.

(i) Transcripts of DG75 iBZLF1 cells were analyzed comparing non-induced cells and cells induced with doxycycline (100 ng/ ml) for 6 h. Doxycycline induces the expression of the full length viral transcription factor BZLF1. (ii) For control purposes, the transcripts of DG75 cells equipped with a doxycycline-regulated truncated BZLF1 allele lacking its transactivation domain (DG75 iBZLF1 AD-truncated) were analyzed prior to and after induction with doxycycline for 6 h. (iii) For an additional control, the transcripts of parental, unmodified DG75 cells were analyzed prior to and after adding doxycycline for 6 h. All experiments were performed as triplicates. The analysis is based on Homo sapiens (human) genome assembly GRCh37 (hg19) from Genome Reference Consortium. Artificial ERCC Spike-in RNAs (Thermo Scientific) were added as external controls.
