Abstract excerpt
Retroviruses are widely distributed in all vertebrates, as are their endogenous forms, endogenous retroviruses (ERV), which serve as "fossil" evidence to trace the ancient origins and history of virus-host interactions over millions of years. The retroviral envelope (Env) plays a significant role in host range determination, but major information on their genetic diversification and evolution in anamniotes is...
