Phylogenomics of the Maverick Virus-Like Mobile Genetic Elements of Vertebrates.

Molecular biology and evolution - 4 May 2021

Barreat Jose Gabriel Nino, Katzourakis Aris

Abstract excerpt

Mavericks are virus-like mobile genetic elements found in the genomes of eukaryotes. Although Mavericks encode capsid morphogenesis homologs, their viral particles have not been observed. Here, we provide new evidence supporting the viral nature of Mavericks and the potential existence of virions. To this end, we conducted a phylogenomic analysis of Mavericks in hundreds of vertebrate genomes, discovering 134...
