We recently reported an interesting finding that the Ebola virus (EBOV) encodes functional microRNAs (miRNAs) that can be produced through the cellular miRNA processing machinery. In addition, the prediction of EBOV miRNA target genes provided some clues about the regulatory roles of EBOV miRNAs. In summary, our findings provide a basis for further assessing the roles of the EBOV miRNAs in viral infection and virus-host interactions.
