Abstract excerpt
The genome of replication-competent BERV gamma4 provirus, which is the most abundant ERV family in the bovine genome, was characterized in detail. The BERV gamma4 genome showed that BERV gamma4 harbors 8576 nucleotides and has the typical 5'-long terminal repeat (LTR)-gag-pro-pol-env-LTR-3' retroviral organization with a long leader region positioned before the gag open reading frame. Multiple sequences analysis...
