Expression and high levels of insertional polymorphism of an endogenous gammaretrovirus lineage in dogs

Abstract excerpt

Despite the absence of a confirmed exogenously replicating retrovirus in Canis lupus familiaris (C. familiaris), past retroviral infections are evident in the genomes of living animals via the presence of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Although gammaretrovirus-like transcripts and enzyme activities were previously reported to be present in canine leukemias and lymphomas, those findings were not further explored....
