HERVs as building blocks of RNA regulatory architecture in the human genome

2026-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) comprise nearly 8% of the human genome and have contributed extensively to gene regulatory evolution. However, their roles in RNA-centered regulatory processes remain poorly characterized. Here, we present a genome-wide annotation of RNA regulatory features embedded within HERV internal regions and long terminal repeats (LTRs), revealing that HERV sequences act as pervasive co...
