Pre-Cambrian origin of <i>envelope</i> -carrying retrotransposons in metazoans
2023-10-28
Abstract excerpt
Retrotransposons or endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) essentially carry open reading frames of gag and pol , which are utilized to selfishly replicate themselves in the host germline genome. One rare example of ERVs that additionally carry envelope genes is Ty3/gypsy errantiviruses in Drosophila. Though they are structurally analogous to retroviruses, it remained unclear whether envelope -containing Ty3/gypsy e...
