Exploring possible mimicry of host immune genes by viruses

Pathway diagrams describing the regulation of Interferon-beta and the Major Immediate Early Promotor (MIE) of human Cytomegalovirus, obtained from a review of the published literature as part of the project work for our MSc in Genomics and Pathway Biology. This summary includes direct comparisons and phylogenetic trees exploring similarities in activating transcription factors. The pathways are presented in SBGN notation.
