Germline viral “fossils” guide in silico reconstruction of a mid-Cenozoic era marsupial adeno-associated virus
5 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
Germline endogenous viral elements (EVEs) genetically preserve viral nucleotide sequences useful to the study of viral evolution, gene mutation, and the phylogenetic relationships among host organisms. Here, we describe a lineage-specific, adeno-associated virus (AAV)-derived endogenous viral element (mAAV-EVE1) found within the germline of numerous closely related marsupial species. Molecular screening of a...
