Origin and recent expansion of an endogenous gammaretroviral lineage in canids
2018-09-12
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian genomes contain a fossilized record of ancient retroviral infections in the form of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). We used whole genome sequence data to assess the origin and evolution of the recently active ERV-Fc gammaretroviral lineage based on the record of past infections retained in the genome of the domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris. We identified 165 loci, including 58 insertions absent from...
