A reproductive process involved in viral reproduction. Usually, this is by infection of a host cell, replication of the viral genome, and assembly of progeny virus particles. In some cases the viral genetic material may integrate into the host genome and only subsequently, under particular circumstances, 'complete' its life cycle. The process by which a gene's sequence is converted into a mature gene product or products (proteins or RNA). This includes the production of an RNA transcript as well as any processing to produce a mature RNA product or an mRNA (for protein-coding genes) and the translation of that mRNA into protein. Some protein processing events may be included when they are required to form an active form of a product from an inactive precursor form. The last group of viral genes to be transcribed during the viral life cycle; genes consist mainly of those encoding structural proteins. The transcriptional period of the earliest expressed viral genes, mainly encoding transcriptional regulators. Any cellular metabolic process involving nucleic acids. The second round of viral gene transcription; most genes transcribed in this round are necessary for genome replication. The mechanisms involved in viral gene transcription, especially referring to those with temporal properties unique to viral transcription. A set of processes which all viruses follow to ensure survival; includes attachment and entry of the virus particle, decoding of genome information, translation of viral mRNA by host ribosomes, genome replication, and assembly and release of viral particles containing the genome. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of viral transcription. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the transcription of the viral genome. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of viral transcription. The cellular synthesis of either RNA on a template of DNA or DNA on a template of RNA. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a macromolecule, any molecule of high relative molecular mass, the structure of which essentially comprises the multiple repetition of units derived, actually or conceptually, from molecules of low relative molecular mass, carried out by individual cells. The achievement of highly specific, quantitative, temporal and spatial control of virus gene expression within the limited genetic resources of the viral genome.
