Abstract excerpt
Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) account for approximately 8% of the human genome. To date, several HERV families have been identified in the human genome, with some being valid biomarkers for specific disease states. In this study, we have identified three HERV-Y elements in the human genome and characterized their structure and expression in various human tissues. New HERV-Y elements (HERV-Y101, HERV-Y102,...
