The evolution, distribution and diversity of endogenous retroviruses.

Virus genes - 1 May 2003

Gifford Robert, Tristem Michael

Abstract excerpt

The retroviral capacity for integration into the host genome can give rise to endogenous retroviruses (ERVs): retroviral sequences that are transmitted vertically as part of the host germ line, within which they may continue to replicate and evolve. ERVs represent both a unique archive of ancient viral sequence information and a dynamic component of host genomes. As such they hold great potential as informative...
