A computational framework to assess genome-wide distribution of polymorphic human endogenous retrovirus-K in human populations

2018-10-15

Abstract excerpt

Human Endogenous Retrovirus type K (HERV-K) is the only HERV known to be insertionally polymorphic. It is possible that HERV-Ks contribute to human disease because people differ in both number and genomic location of these retroviruses. Indeed viral transcripts, proteins, and antibody against HERV-K are detected in cancers, auto-immune, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, attempts to link a polymorphic HERV-K...
