The endogenous retroviral locus ERVWE1 is a bona fide gene involved in hominoid placental physiology

2 Feb 2004

Abstract excerpt

The definitive demonstration of a role for a recently acquired gene is a difficult task, requiring exhaustive genetic investigations and functional analysis. The situation is indeed much more complicated when facing multicopy gene families, because most or portions of the gene are conserved among the hundred copies of the family. This is the case for the ERVWE1 locus of the human endogenous retrovirus W family...
