Functional Adaptations of Endogenous Retroviruses to the <i>Drosophila</i> Host Underlie their Evolutionary Diversification

2023-08-04

Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements profoundly affect the biology and evolution of their hosts, yet their own evolutionary dynamics remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate insect endogenous retroviruses (iERVs), a monophyletic group of LTR retrotransposons that have acquired the trait of infectivity, likely through capture of a Baculovirus envelope gene. In Drosophila ovaries, iERVs with functional envelope have adapt...
