Diverse endogenous retroviruses generate structural variation between human genomes via LTR recombination

2018-08-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) occupy a substantial fraction of the genome and impact cellular function with both beneficial and deleterious consequences. The vast majority of HERV sequences descend from ancient retroviral families no longer capable of infection or genomic propagation. In fact, most are no longer represented by full-length proviruses but by solitary long terminal repeats...
