Oncogenic herpesvirus KSHV triggers hallmarks of alternative lengthening of telomeres

~15% of cancers induce alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) to activate telomere maintenance. Here, the authors reveal that infection with Kaposi’s sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) induces acquisition of ALT-like features in previously non-ALT cell lines.
