Insertional polymorphisms of full-length endogenous retroviruses in humans.

Current biology : CB - 2 Oct 2001

Turner G, Barbulescu M, Su M, Jensen-Seaman M I, Kidd K K, Lenz J

Abstract excerpt

Human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV-K) is distinctive among the retroviruses in the human genome in that many HERV-K proviruses were inserted into the human germline after the human and chimpanzee lineages evolutionarily diverged [1, 2]. However, all full-length endogenous retroviruses described to date in humans are sufficiently old that all humans examined were homozygous for their presence [1]. Moreover, none...
