Abstract excerpt

We and others recently identified an almost-intact human endogenous retrovirus (HERV), termed HERV-K(HML-2.HOM), that is usually organized as a tandem provirus. Studies on HERV proviral loci commonly rely on the analysis of single alleles being taken as representative for a locus. We investigated the frequency of HERV-K(HML-2.HOM) single and tandem alleles in various human populations. Our analysis revealed that...
