Here, we unravel the complete viral transcriptome and translatome during lytic infection with base-pair resolution by computational integration of multi-omics data. We identify a total of 201 transcripts and 284 ORFs including all known and 46 novel large ORFs. This includes a so far unknown ORF in the locus deleted in the FDA-approved oncolytic virus Imlygic. Multiple transcript isoforms expressed from individual gene loci explain translation of the vast majority of ORFs as well as N-terminal extensions (NTEs) and truncations. We show that NTEs with non-canonical start codons govern the subcellular protein localization and packaging of key viral regulators and structural proteins. We extend the current nomenclature to include all viral gene products and provide a genome browser that visualizes all the obtained data from whole genome to single-nucleotide resolution.}, chemicals = {Biological Products, Protein Isoforms, talimogene laherparepvec}, citation-subset = {IM}, completed = {2020-08-10}, country = {England}, doi = {10.1038/s41467-020-15992-5}, issn-linking = {2041-1723}, issue = {1}, keywords = {Animals; Biological Products, pharmacology; Chlorocebus aethiops; Computational Biology; Cricetinae; Fibroblasts, metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation, Viral, drug effects; Genes, Viral; Genome, Viral; Genomics; Herpesvirus 1, Human, drug effects, genetics; Humans; Open Reading Frames; Protein Domains; Protein Isoforms; Ribosomes, metabolism; Transcriptome; Vero Cells}, nlm-id = {101528555}, owner = {NLM}, pii = {10.1038/s41467-020-15992-5}, pmc = {PMC7184758}, pmid = {32341360}, pubmodel = {Electronic}, pubstate = {epublish}, revised = {2021-04-27}, }
