Ancient evolution of hepadnaviral paleoviruses and their impact on host genomes
2020-11-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Hepadnaviruses (family Hepadnaviviridae ) are reverse-transcribing animal viruses that infect vertebrates. Vertebrate genomes contain DNA sequences derived from ancient hepadnaviruses, and these ‘endogenous hepatitis B viruses’ (eHBVs) reveal aspects of the long-term coevolutionary relationship between hepadnaviruses and their vertebrate hosts. Here, we use a novel, data-oriented approach to re...
