Genomic Flexibility of Human Endogenous Retrovirus Type K
12 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Human endogenous retrovirus type K (HERV-K) proviruses are scattered throughout the human genome, but as no infectious HERV-K virus has been detected to date, the mechanism by which these viruses replicated and populated the genome remains unresolved. Here, we provide evidence that, in addition to the RNA genomes that canonical retroviruses package, modern HERV-K viruses can contain...
