Screening Envelope Genes Across Primate Genomes Reveals Evolution and Diversity Patterns of Endogenous Retroviruses
2024-10-28
Abstract excerpt
Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs) are integrated into the host DNA as result of ancient germ line infections, majorly by now extinct exogenous retroviruses. Accordingly, vertebrates’ genomes contain thousands of ERV copies, providing “fossil” records for the ancestral retroviral diversity and its evolution within the host. Like exogenous retroviruses, ERV proviral sequence consists of gag, pro-pol , and env genes f...
